About our gutter sealing in Patching
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant on roofline trims that has split and dripping gutter ends.
Older homes in small places like Patching may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Patching
Can you do gutter sealing in Patching?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Patching is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Goring-By-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
Patching buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 1.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Patching as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Rented homes near Goring-By-Sea station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St John the Divine, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Older cottages and farmhouses around Patching can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
