Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Fascias that need replacing

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Plastow Green
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
