Gutter sealing in Rudmore
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with open joints in fascias and soffits and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can help, on roofline trims, gutter end caps and soffit joints alike.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Rudmore add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Homes in smaller places like Rudmore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Gutter sealing in Rudmore: local notes
Rudmore is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Portsmouth & Southsea station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. If you look after a building such as The Flying Bull Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a smaller place like Rudmore, 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 find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Rudmore: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Portsmouth & Southsea station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Rudmore affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you clean gutters?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
