About our gutter sealing in Rochester
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant along roofline trims and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.
Rochester mixes older houses and their gutters with newer estates of brick, render and uPVC trims. All of those joints move, so they need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a job in Rochester, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What we’re called out for in Rochester
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last so the brackets need attention first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Garage door frames letting rain in
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen

Rochester questions
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Rochester?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Rochester in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rochester is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed once we know more.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Rochester?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
We do. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.
Rochester buildings and the weather
Rochester is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 0.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rochester 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.
Rented homes near Rochester station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you look after a building such as Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Resealing is normally enough.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Problems with the roof covering
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Rochester they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
