About our gutter sealing in Rough Common
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Rough Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rough Common and across Kent.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In a small place like Rough Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Full insurance on every job
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Rough Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Gutter sealing in Rough Common: local notes
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.
Schools such as Blean Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Homes close to Church of St. Gabriel include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
