Gutter sealing in Hickstead
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are stop ends leaking at the end of a run and old gutter sealant that has let go.
Older homes in small places like Hickstead may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hickstead, 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.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why it’s worth doing now in Hickstead
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hickstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Common problems we fix in Hickstead
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
For landlords with property near Burgess Hill station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Hickstead buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (about 3.4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hickstead as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Twineham CofE Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Common questions in Hickstead

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Normally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
