Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Oare
Across Oare, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm what access is needed. If you have open joints in fascias and soffits and rain getting in around a garage door, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Oare, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Oare, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- 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.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Walls and rooflines in Oare
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Oare as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Newbury Racecourse station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Hermitage Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How we quote for gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Deal with a drip before winter
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
FAQs for Oare
Do you cover Oare for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oare is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Oare within the area you cover?
Yes, Oare is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Fascias that need replacing
- A gutter length that has split
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
Leave it or put it right?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Oare, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
