How we handle gutter sealing in Shide
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are gaps along fascia and soffit joints and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint.
Houses in smaller places like Shide can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Walls and rooflines in Shide
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. Historic houses like Carisbrooke Castle (about 1 mile west) are a reminder that the area around Shide has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Shide, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.

- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- A gutter length that has split
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
