Gutter joints

When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.

Can I do it myself?

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.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What happens if it’s left?

Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In a small place like Sandford-on-Thames, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What gutter sealing looks like in Sandford-on-Thames

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. Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 2.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Sandford-on-Thames has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as John Henry Newman Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
