Walls and rooflines in Patcham
Patcham 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Preston Park station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Patcham is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Jobs in Patcham get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Patcham is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we work.

About our gutter sealing in Patcham
Across Patcham, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed. If you have end caps that drip every time it rains and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and uPVC fascias alike.
In a smaller place like Patcham, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common questions in Patcham
Do you cover smaller places like Patcham?
Yes. Patcham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Patcham affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, gutter and fascia work included.
Do you clean gutters?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
Why act early in Patcham
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around Patcham, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. If boards are damaged, we will tell you.
Roofline trims
We reseal trim joints with an exterior sealant.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. A visit to Patcham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
