About our gutter sealing in Shiplake
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and failed sealant on a garage door frame.
Somewhere as small as Shiplake, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Shiplake
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What else we do in Shiplake
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. In a small place like Shiplake, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere as small as Shiplake, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Walls and rooflines in Shiplake
With historic houses such as Greys Court (about 4.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shiplake as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shiplake Church of England School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Wargrave station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
