Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Shottenden, Kent
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Shottenden? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Gutter sealing in Shottenden, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on soffit joints, roofline trims and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Shottenden, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound. In a small place like Shottenden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Shottenden buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shottenden as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Shottenden, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Fascia board joints can open up. They’re sealed tidily with a matching sealant where possible.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. In a small place like Shottenden, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Shottenden
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
Common problems we fix in Shottenden
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Is Shottenden within the area you cover?

Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
