How we handle gutter sealing in Pirton
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about water dripping where gutter sections meet and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Around Pirton, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Pirton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Pirton: your questions answered
Is Pirton in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Pirton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Pirton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Outside joints around Pirton

For landlords with property near Hitchin station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Church of St Mary (Church of England), older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pirton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
