How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like John's Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Gutter sealing in John's Cross, 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. Common call-outs are for gaps along fascia and soffit joints and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, on roofline trims, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
In a village or hamlet like John's Cross, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we will say so.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
What does gutter sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Gutter sealing in John's Cross: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (about 2.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around John's Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Vinehall School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in John's Cross
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
