Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Shippon, Oxfordshire
Professional gutter sealing in and around Shippon, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Do you need gutter sealing in Shippon?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Gutter sealing in Shippon, done properly
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. If you have old gutter sealant that has let go and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Shippon, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Shippon as everywhere else we work.

Gutter sealing in Shippon: local notes
Historic houses like Appleton Manor (about 3.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Shippon 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Radley station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Larkmead School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
Gutter joints
A dripping joint doesn’t always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.

What else we do in Shippon
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Shippon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Shippon: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Radley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do gutter sealing in Shippon?
Yes, Shippon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Shippon?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
