Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we are called out for in Lenham Forstal
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
Gutter sealing in Lenham Forstal: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as The Lenham 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 the Holy Trinity, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How we quote for gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Lenham Forstal needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
