How we handle gutter sealing in Shacklewell
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. If you are dealing with streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and rain getting in around a garage door, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. For a home in Shacklewell, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.

What gutter sealing looks like in Shacklewell
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
Managing a site like The Petchey Academy? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Church of St Barnabas include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Keep downpipes clear
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
When to call us in Shacklewell
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
Look out for these signs:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- End caps that drip every time it rains
If you let a flat or house near Rectory Road 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

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Gutter joints

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In Shacklewell, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
