Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Hounsdown
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. If you are dealing with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and gutter joints alike.
Homes around Hounsdown range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Hounsdown buildings and the weather
Hounsdown 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. With historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (about 4.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hounsdown 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.
Schools such as Hounsdown School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Colbury Christ Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Landlord and commercial work in Hounsdown
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
FAQs for Hounsdown
Do you cover smaller places like Hounsdown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Totton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How long does gutter sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Hounsdown?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When to call us in Hounsdown
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
If you let a flat or house near Totton station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
