How we handle gutter sealing in Northbourne
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. Common call-outs are for wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
In a village or hamlet like Northbourne, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Northbourne
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near Church of St Augustine, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Northbourne: your questions answered
Is Northbourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Northbourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Walmer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Northbourne buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Walmer Castle (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Northbourne 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Northbourne
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In a small place like Northbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Northbourne, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Guttering that needs replacing
