What gutter sealing looks like in Ratling
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 1 mile north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ratling as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Adisham station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you live in an older home near St Peter, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

About our gutter sealing in Ratling
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. If you are dealing with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and drips from gutter joints and end caps, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ratling, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ratling as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Ratling, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- We check our work before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ratling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.

What else we do in Ratling
Do you need gutter sealing in Ratling?
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Managing a site like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
