What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a village or hamlet like Hensting, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.

Advice
About our gutter sealing in Hensting
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints in fascias and soffits and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
In a village or hamlet like Hensting, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. Around Hensting, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Hensting buildings and the weather
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.
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
