How we handle gutter sealing in Shellow Bowells
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and rain getting in around a garage door, on garage door frames, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Shellow Bowells is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shellow Bowells
Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shellow Bowells, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Do you need gutter sealing in Shellow Bowells?
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
