Gutter sealing in Merle Common, done properly
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. We work on soffit joints, garage door frames and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping where gutter sections meet and old gutter sealant that has let go.
In a village or hamlet like Merle Common, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Merle Common
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Merle Common
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
If you look after a building such as Holland Junior School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
Quotes for gutter sealing in Merle Common
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.

Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

We do. Our work is the joints, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
