Gutter sealing in Portslade, done properly

We work across Portslade on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include old sealant on roofline trims that has split and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, across roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.

Around Portslade, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Portslade and everywhere else we cover.

Outside joints around Portslade

Portslade is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Portslade Manor (about 0.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Portslade as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

Rented homes near Fishersgate station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you look after a building such as Peter Gladwin Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Do you need gutter sealing in Portslade?

Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Water dripping where gutter sections meet
  • Rain getting in around a garage door
  • Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
  • Dripping gutter ends

For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicolas Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the new joints

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Check the gutters during heavy rain
  • Keep the gutters clear of debris
  • Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
  • Sort out a dripping joint early

If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.

A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

Surface by surface

Roofline trims

We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.

Gutter end caps

We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach once clean and dry.

When it is not the sealant

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
  • Brackets that have snapped or loosened
  • Water backing up from a blocked pipe

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • uPVC fascias
  • Soffit joints
  • Gutter end caps
  • Roofline trims
  • Garage door frames
  • Gutter joints

Why deal with it now?

If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Homes in smaller places like Portslade can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Portslade is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
  2. Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
  3. The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Before we arrive

  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
