About our gutter sealing in Shotover Hill
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 have end caps that drip every time it rains and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can put it right.
Around Shotover Hill, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.

Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a smaller place like Shotover Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we are called out for in Shotover Hill
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
Outside joints around Shotover Hill
Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 2.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Shotover Hill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Wood Farm Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
