About our gutter sealing in Lower Hardres

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. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and rain getting in around a garage door, on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.

External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Lower Hardres is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Access and height
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The size of the job
  • How many areas need sealing

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • The rough size of the job
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep ladders off the guttering
  • Glance at the soffit joints now and then
  • Get leaks sealed before the wet months
  • Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly

Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.

A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Lower Hardres 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.

  1. First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
  2. We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
  3. The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

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.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Lower Hardres and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote.

Common problems we fix in Lower Hardres

When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
  • Fascia boards with gaps between them
  • Rain getting in around a garage door
  • Cracked sealant along roofline trims

Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What to look for in a quote

  • How long to leave it before use
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What happens if the job turns out different

Leave it or put it right?

A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Hardres can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
