How we handle gutter sealing in Ivy Chimneys
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are internal damp traced to a gutter joint and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
In a village or hamlet like Ivy Chimneys, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Ivy Chimneys, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How much does gutter sealing cost in Ivy Chimneys?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Can you fit new guttering?
We do not replace gutters or fascias. We will tell you if the gutter needs replacing so you can call the right trade.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does gutter sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will tell you when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Keep downpipes clear
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
Outside joints around Ivy Chimneys
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. Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 2.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Ivy Chimneys 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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
