Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Houghton, West Sussex
Our applicators work in Houghton on sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
How we handle gutter sealing in Houghton
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and roofline trims, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
Older homes in small places like Houghton 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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, 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.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Boards that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Houghton
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a small place like Houghton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. 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?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Houghton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What gutter sealing looks like in Houghton
With historic houses such as Bignor Roman Villa (about 2.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Houghton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dorset House School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
