Gutter sealing in Merston, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant along roofline trims and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and roofline trims alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Merston is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Merston and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common questions in Merston
Is Merston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chichester station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Our work is the joints and we’ll let you know if a board has failed.
Can you reach high gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Which products 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’ll tell you what we’re using.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
What gutter sealing looks like in Merston
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 3.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Merston has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Merston
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
Landlords, agents and businesses in Merston
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Why act early in Merston
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. In a small place like Merston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
