Common questions in High Cross
I let a flat near Crowborough station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to High Cross?
Yes, High Cross is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealing a sagging joint will not last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that is what we find.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in High Cross
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on roofline trims, gutter joints and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are old gutter sealant that has let go and dripping gutter ends.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around High Cross is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like High Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit

Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
Gutter joints
A dripping joint doesn’t always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.
Walls and rooflines in High Cross
With historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle (about 4.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around High Cross 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.
Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Rotherfield Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What we’re called out for in High Cross
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Denys, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Problems with the roof covering
- Fascias that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in High Cross
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like High Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
