Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
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.
Gutter sealing in Lydd-on-Sea
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. We work on soffit joints, gutter joints and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps along fascia and soffit joints and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Lydd-on-Sea is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Gutter sealing in Lydd-on-Sea: local notes
Lydd-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Greatstone Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

FAQs for Lydd-on-Sea
Does the coastal weather in Lydd-on-Sea affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Lydd-on-Sea in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Lydd-on-Sea is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last and we will say so.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Quotes for gutter sealing in Lydd-on-Sea
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need gutter sealing in Lydd-on-Sea?
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
If you live in an older home near St Peter's, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
