How we handle gutter sealing in Old Tree
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you are dealing with water dripping where gutter sections meet and garage door frames letting rain in, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Old Tree may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need gutter sealing in Old Tree?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Why deal with it now?
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Tree can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Old Tree
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Old Tree any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Old Tree within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere like Old Tree needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Gutter sealing in Old Tree: local notes
Old Tree is within about 3 miles of 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
