Gutter Sealing in Jacob's Post
Gutter and fascia joints in Jacob's Post need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- End caps that drip every time it rains
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Jacob's Post can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Gutter sealing in Jacob's Post, done properly
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We are often asked to deal with quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and dripping gutter ends, on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Jacob's Post is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run from start to finish. In a small place like Jacob's Post, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Jacob's Post buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Ockenden Manor (about 3.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Jacob's Post 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.
Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Gattons Infant School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Providence Strict Baptist Chapel, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
