About our gutter sealing in Heart's Delight
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. We work on gutter end caps, gutter joints and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are dripping gutter ends and old gutter sealant that has let go.
Older homes in small places like Heart's Delight may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Fascias that need replacing
- Problems with the roof covering
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Heart's Delight, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Common questions in Heart's Delight
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Snowdown station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Heart's Delight within the area you cover?
Yes, Heart's Delight is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Heart's Delight?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Common problems we fix in Heart's Delight
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Look out for any of the following:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
Letting a property close to Snowdown station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Nearby places to Heart's Delight
Also in Heart's Delight
Outside joints around Heart's Delight
With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 4.4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Heart's Delight as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Schools such as Barham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
