Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Postling
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. Typical jobs include old sealant on roofline trims that has split and open joints in fascias and soffits, across soffit joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Postling, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.

Postling buildings and the weather
Postling is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St Radegund, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Postling
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Postling?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Why act early in Postling
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint 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 Postling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Old sealant always removed completely
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. Somewhere like Postling needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. We clean, dry and reseal them.
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. They’re sealed tidily in a suitable colour.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
