What gutter sealing looks like in Itchen
Itchen is within about 1 mile 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. Historic houses like Medieval Merchant's House (about 1.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Itchen has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as Jesus Chapel - St Mary Extra, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ludlow Junior School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Itchen
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 are often asked to deal with leaking gutter joints and stop ends and rain getting in around a garage door, on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter end caps.
In a smaller place like Itchen, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep downpipes clear
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter joints

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

FAQs for Itchen
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woolston station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Itchen?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking around Itchen is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
