Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What guarantee comes with the job?

Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed once we know more.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How we handle gutter sealing in Shipbourne
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Older homes in small places like Shipbourne may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shipbourne
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a small place like Shipbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Shipbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What we are called out for in Shipbourne
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
Schools such as Shipbourne School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

- Whether you can choose the colour

Gutter sealing in Shipbourne: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Ightham Mote (about 1.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Shipbourne 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.
Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Church of St Giles, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep downpipes clear
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
