Outside joints around Little Portugal
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
For landlords with property near Wandsworth Road station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as St Stephen's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Gutter sealing in Little Portugal
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We are often asked to deal with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and open joints in fascias and soffits, across soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. In a converted house in Little Portugal, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Little Portugal: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wandsworth Road station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Little Portugal?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Little Portugal
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. For a job in Little Portugal, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Ask for a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Little Portugal
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
If you look after a building such as Platanos College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
- How long the guarantee is
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A gutter length that has split
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
