About our gutter sealing in Hawthorn
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. We work on gutter end caps, roofline trims and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are drips from gutter joints and end caps and water running down the wall below the gutter.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Hawthorn is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hawthorn and across Kent.

Hawthorn: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Hawthorn affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that is what we find.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Hawthorn, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Why act early in Hawthorn
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hawthorn can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- You choose the colour before work begins

Hawthorn buildings and the weather
Hawthorn is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What else we do in Hawthorn
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we are called out for in Hawthorn
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last so the brackets need attention first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
