Gutter sealing in Shirburn
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and roofline trims alike.
Older homes in small places like Shirburn 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Shirburn, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Your questions about gutter sealing in Shirburn
Is gutter sealing in Shirburn guaranteed?
All our work, in Shirburn and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do gutter sealing in Shirburn?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shirburn is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
Shirburn buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 2.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shirburn as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Common problems we fix in Shirburn
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
If you look after a building such as Icknield Community College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
