About our gutter sealing in Scragged Oak
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 itself has failed, we say so. We’re often asked to deal with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and drips from gutter joints and end caps, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and roofline trims.
Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Gutter sealing in Scragged Oak: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 4.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Scragged Oak has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Bearsted station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Your questions about gutter sealing in Scragged Oak
Can you do gutter sealing in Scragged Oak?
Yes, Scragged Oak is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Scragged Oak?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Why act early in Scragged Oak
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Older cottages and farmhouses around Scragged Oak can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
