How we handle gutter sealing in Nettlecombe
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. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Nettlecombe is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Nettlecombe, 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.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Nettlecombe buildings and the weather
Nettlecombe is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Rylstone Manor (about 4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Nettlecombe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Homes close to Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.

Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Do you need gutter sealing in Nettlecombe?
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Common questions in Nettlecombe
Does the coastal weather in Nettlecombe affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.
