Leave it or put it right?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ightham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Gutter sealing in Ightham, done properly
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. We’re often asked to deal with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and trim joints where the sealant has failed, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
In a village or hamlet like Ightham, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Outside joints around Ightham
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 1.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ightham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
Schools such as Ightham Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Common problems we fix in Ightham
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. Somewhere as small as Ightham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Blocked downpipes
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
