- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep downpipes clear
- Deal with a drip before winter
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 inside.
Gutter sealing in Shorwell, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Typical jobs include leaking gutter joints and stop ends and cracked sealant along roofline trims, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps.
Around Shorwell, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What gutter sealing looks like in Shorwell
Shorwell is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Northcourt Manor (about 0.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Shorwell has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Around Shorwell, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we’re called out for in Shorwell
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Homes close to St. Peter's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Why act early in Shorwell
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shorwell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Yes, Shorwell 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, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Shorwell?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Shorwell.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Bigger jobs take longer.
How we quote for gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a village or hamlet like Shorwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
