Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Nettlestead
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We are often asked to deal with cracked sealant along roofline trims and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter end caps.
In a village or hamlet like Nettlestead, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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 do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep downpipes clear
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Nettlestead, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Nettlestead buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 4.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nettlestead as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Letting a property close to Wateringbury station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
