How we handle gutter sealing in Potten End
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and dripping gutter ends, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames.
Older homes in small places like Potten End may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
