The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. A visit to Shirley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shirley
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Around Shirley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Walls and rooflines in Shirley
Shirley is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Southampton Tudor House and Garden (about 1.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Shirley 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.
In the older streets around Shirley Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Schools such as Wordsworth Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Millbrook (Hants) station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Shirley any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
