Walls and rooflines in Shipton-under-Wychwood
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. With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shipton-under-Wychwood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Wychwood Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Shipton station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Deal with a drip before winter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.
Landlord and commercial work in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shipton-under-Wychwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
