Gutter sealing in Newington Butts, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. Common call-outs are for wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and old gutter sealant that has let go, on soffit joints, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. For a flat in Newington Butts, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Newington Butts buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Benjamin Franklin House (about 1.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Newington Butts 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.
As a London address, Newington Butts can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For an older house near a landmark such as Metropolitan Tabernacle, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as London College of Communication are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Why act early in Newington Butts
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- We agree the colour with you first
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Newington Butts: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Newington Butts?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
I let a flat near Elephant & Castle station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Newington Butts?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How the visit works
