How we handle gutter sealing in Sevenoaks
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on roofline trims, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about internal damp traced to a gutter joint and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
Plenty of homes in a town like Sevenoaks have been extended, and the joint where new wall meets old is a classic place for water to get in. Getting the joint depth right matters as much as the sealant itself.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How much does gutter sealing cost in Sevenoaks?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What gutter sealing looks like in Sevenoaks
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Knole House (about 1.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sevenoaks as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Sevenoaks Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What else we do in Sevenoaks
Why deal with it now?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Sevenoaks they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

How we quote for gutter sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Common problems we fix in Sevenoaks
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
If you let a flat or house near Sevenoaks station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
