About our gutter sealing in Saltwood
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on a garage door frame and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and roofline trims.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Saltwood is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Saltwood
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Saltwood any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealing a sagging joint won’t last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that is what we find.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you fit new guttering?
That is not something we do. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Saltwood, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we’re called out for in Saltwood
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Dripping gutter ends
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Schools such as Saltwood CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For gutter sealing in Saltwood, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Why act early in Saltwood
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Around Saltwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Walls and rooflines in Saltwood
Saltwood is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Sandling station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
