Gutter sealing near Old Hawkinge

What we are called out for in Old Hawkinge

When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
  • Trim joints where the sealant has failed
  • Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
  • Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off

If you look after a building such as Hawkinge Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Before you book anyone

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • What insurance they hold
  • Whether VAT is included
  • What product goes in the joint

Our hiring checklist

How we handle gutter sealing in Old Hawkinge

Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and trim joints where the sealant has failed, on soffit joints, gutter joints and garage door frames.

Older homes in small places like Old Hawkinge may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Gutter sealing in Old Hawkinge: local notes

Old Hawkinge is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 2.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Old Hawkinge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Folkestone Central station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
  • Look along the fascias for open joints
  • Check the gutters during heavy rain
  • Sort out a dripping joint early

Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.

A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.

Different surfaces, different methods

uPVC fascias

Fascia board joints can open up. They’re sealed tidily in a suitable colour.

Gutter end caps

We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach once clean and dry.

  2. We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
  3. We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
  4. We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
