How we handle gutter sealing in Rhodes Minnis
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. If you’re dealing with old gutter sealant that has let go and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Rhodes Minnis is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Common questions in Rhodes Minnis
Do you cover Rhodes Minnis for gutter sealing?
Yes, Rhodes Minnis is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Common problems we fix in Rhodes Minnis
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
For landlords with property near Sandling station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
