About our gutter sealing in Play Hatch
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. We work on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and gutter joints, and people most often call us about old gutter sealant that has let go and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Play Hatch is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Play Hatch, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Why act early in Play Hatch
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 Play Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before work begins

What gutter sealing looks like in Play Hatch
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 4.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Play Hatch has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Reading station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Schools such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A gutter length that has split
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
