About our gutter sealing in Plaxtol
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We’re often asked to deal with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and rain getting in around a garage door, on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter end caps.
Older homes in small places like Plaxtol may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.

Quotes for gutter sealing in Plaxtol
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Walls and rooflines in Plaxtol
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 0.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Plaxtol as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Plaxtol Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Plaxtol Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Common questions in Plaxtol
Is Plaxtol within the area you cover?
Yes. Plaxtol is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris near the joints, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Leave it or put it right?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Plaxtol, 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. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Plaxtol
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
