Reculver Gutter Sealing
Gutter and fascia joints in Reculver need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Garage door frames letting rain in
How we handle gutter sealing in Reculver
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We work on roofline trims, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are trim joints where the sealant has failed and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Around Reculver, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Reculver, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Reculver
Does the coastal weather in Reculver affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Reculver?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
Gutter sealing in Reculver: local notes
Reculver 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 is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Reculver Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Reculver, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
