Why it’s worth doing now in Riddlesdown
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Riddlesdown, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Gutter sealing in Riddlesdown, done properly
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where one is available. Common call-outs are for internal damp traced to a gutter joint and water running down the wall below the gutter, on garage door frames, gutter joints and roofline trims.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. For a flat in Riddlesdown, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Riddlesdown and across Greater London.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Walls and rooflines in Riddlesdown
In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. With historic houses such as Addington Palace (about 3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Riddlesdown as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Riddlesdown is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harris Primary Academy Kenley, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Edmund's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
