Shelvin Gutter Sealing
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Shelvin? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Shelvin needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
How we handle gutter sealing in Shelvin
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We work on soffit joints, garage door frames and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are end caps that drip every time it rains and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
Older homes in small places like Shelvin may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Shelvin buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Shelvin has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Questions from Shelvin
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Shelvin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What happens if it’s left?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shelvin, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We agree the colour with you first
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We never seal over old sealant

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
