How we handle gutter sealing in Silchester
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about leaking gutter joints and stop ends and water running down the wall below the gutter.
Older homes in small places like Silchester may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

Walls and rooflines in Silchester
London and the South East are among 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 The Vyne (about 3.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Silchester as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Silchester Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Luke's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Silchester is about 2 miles east of Tadley, in West Berkshire. Silchester gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Silchester: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Silchester?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do gutter sealing in Silchester?
Yes, Silchester is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low-level work is easiest. We will confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Silchester?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit, where one is available.
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Silchester, 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What we are called out for in Silchester
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Rushed repairs often don’t last long for this reason.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Rented homes near Bramley (Hants) station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
