Advice
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Northwood
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. If you have failed sealant on a garage door frame and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around Northwood, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Why act early in Northwood
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In an older home around Northwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. We clean, dry and reseal them.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
Walls and rooflines in Northwood
Northwood is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around St Mark's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Ramsgate station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What we are called out for in Northwood
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
If you look after a building such as Dame Janet Primary Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Questions from Northwood
I let a flat near Ramsgate station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Northwood?
Yes, Northwood is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we are sealing and clear debris we find nearby. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
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.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
