How we handle gutter sealing in Skippers Hill
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints, and people most often call us about garage door frames letting rain in and dripping gutter ends.
In a village or hamlet like Skippers Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Skippers Hill
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last so the brackets need attention first.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Skippers Hill buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Skippers Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
