About our gutter sealing in Shiplake Cross
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on uPVC fascias, roofline trims and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are drips from gutter joints and end caps and water running down the wall below the gutter.
In a village or hamlet like Shiplake Cross, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Shiplake Cross, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

FAQs for Shiplake Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Shiplake Cross?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shiplake station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

What else we do in Shiplake Cross
When to call us in Shiplake Cross
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
For landlords with property near Shiplake station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Walls and rooflines in Shiplake Cross
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Greys Court (about 3.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Shiplake Cross 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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shiplake Church of England School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
