DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Maypole
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Maypole may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Maypole buildings and the weather
Maypole is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Maypole
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Dripping gutter ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Rain getting in around a garage door
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Maypole questions
Do you cover smaller places like Maypole?
Yes, Maypole is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Maypole 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.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. For anything higher, we will confirm what access is needed before we book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Maypole, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

What else we do in Maypole
Why act early in Maypole
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a small place like Maypole, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
