About our gutter sealing in Margate
Across Margate, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We are often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, across roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
Around Margate, outside jobs take in garage door frames, porches, gutters and trims as well as walls. Where two materials meet, they move differently, and the sealant has to allow for it.
Our work is backed for twelve months.
Margate: your questions answered

I let a flat near Margate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Does someone need to be in?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In a family home in Margate, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Walls and rooflines in Margate
Margate is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s 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.
If you look after a building such as Salmestone Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Margate station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

When to call us in Margate
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Homes close to Parish Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What your quote should include

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. A failed seal makes them leak.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a job in Margate, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
