Gutter sealing in Sheldwich Lees, done properly
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and water running down the wall below the gutter.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Sheldwich Lees
Is Sheldwich Lees within the area you cover?
Yes. Sheldwich Lees is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealing a sagging joint won’t last. A gutter installer needs to refix it, and we will tell you if that’s what we find.
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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Sheldwich Lees, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Walls and rooflines in Sheldwich Lees
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 1.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sheldwich Lees as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Sheldwich Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St James, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Selling station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What else we do in Sheldwich Lees
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Problems with the roof covering
- Blocked downpipes
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sheldwich Lees can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. When their seal fails, they drip.
