Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How we handle gutter sealing in Ridgewood
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and soffit joints, and people most often call us about water running down the wall below the gutter and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Houses in smaller places like Ridgewood can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Ridgewood
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harlands Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit.
What gutter sealing looks like in Ridgewood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near St Saviour, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Uckfield station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What’s near Ridgewood
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Uckfield College, The Highlands pub and Hempstead Meadow. Ridgewood’s nearest station is Uckfield station, about 0.8 miles north. Nearby you will also find Uckfield Community Hospital (0.7 miles north-east) and Tickerage Castle (2.4 miles east). For a walk, there’s Brickfield Meadow.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Around Ridgewood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Ridgewood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
