Gutter sealing in Mackerel's Common
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. Common call-outs are for internal damp traced to a gutter joint and old gutter sealant that has let go, on roofline trims, garage door frames and gutter joints.
Somewhere as small as Mackerel's Common, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Mackerel's Common
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Walls and rooflines in Mackerel's Common
Historic houses like Petworth House (about 4.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Mackerel's Common has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Mackerel's Common questions
Can you do gutter sealing in Mackerel's Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Mackerel's Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters is not part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant usually stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Mackerel's Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
