Herne buildings and the weather
Herne is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herne Church of England Infant School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
Look out for these signs:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in Herne
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. Homes in smaller places like Herne can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What else we do in Herne
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours from start to finish. In a smaller place like Herne, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

FAQs for Herne
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Herne any different?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you fit new guttering?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
