How we handle gutter sealing in Shellingford
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for drips from gutter joints and end caps and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
Around Shellingford, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shellingford and across Oxfordshire.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
What affects the quote in Shellingford
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- A gutter length that has split
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Shellingford
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
If you live in an older home near Church of St Faith, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
