Gutter sealing in Ratton Village
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. Typical jobs include end caps that drip every time it rains and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, across gutter end caps, soffit joints and garage door frames.
Homes around Ratton Village range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Ratton Village and across East Sussex.

What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it, if the frame itself is sound. Around Ratton Village, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Different surfaces, different methods

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a job in Ratton Village, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is

What gutter sealing looks like in Ratton Village
Ratton Village is within about 3 miles of 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. With historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (about 4.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ratton Village as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Ocklynge Junior School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Hampden Park station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
