What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
About our gutter sealing in Shirley
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. Common call-outs are for garage door frames letting rain in and end caps that drip every time it rains, on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. For a flat in Shirley, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common questions in Shirley
Is parking an issue for gutter sealing in Shirley?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you cover Shirley for gutter sealing?
Yes, Shirley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
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.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last, and we’ll tell you.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We will confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shirley
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Walls and rooflines in Shirley
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 Addington Palace (about 1.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shirley as well as newer homes. 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 Oasis Academy Shirley Park, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Shirley is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Common problems we fix in Shirley
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
For landlords with property near Elmers End station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
