Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Longwick
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on gutter end caps, soffit joints and garage door frames, and people most often call us about garage door frames letting rain in and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Longwick add more joints to look after. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
Common problems we fix in Longwick
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
In the older streets around Owlswick Chapel, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Monks Risborough station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Managing a site like Longwick Church of England Combined School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a job in Longwick, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it. In a smaller place like Longwick, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
