DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Gutter sealing in Newtown Common
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We are often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and open joints in fascias and soffits, across garage door frames, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Around Newtown Common, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Gutter sealing in Newtown Common: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Highclere Castle (about 3.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Newtown Common has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Homes close to Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. Somewhere as small as Newtown Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Newtown Common
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Around Newtown Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Newtown Common questions
Is Newtown Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do gutter sealing in Newtown Common?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Newtown Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
