What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Lychpit, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we handle gutter sealing in Lychpit
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. If you are dealing with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Lychpit, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep downpipes clear
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Surface by surface
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
Roofline trims
We reseal trim joints with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
What we are called out for in Lychpit
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
If you look after a building such as Old Basing Infant School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include

- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What else we do in Lychpit
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- A gutter length that has split
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints

Lychpit buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Lychpit has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Leave it or put it right?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In a small place like Lychpit, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- You choose the colour before work begins
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
