About our gutter sealing in Slutshole
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and soffit joints, and people most often call us about water running down the wall below the gutter and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter.
Around Slutshole, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.
What gutter sealing looks like in Slutshole
Slutshole is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What happens if it’s left?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slutshole, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

What else we do in Slutshole
What we’re called out for in Slutshole
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- How long the guarantee is
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Slutshole, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Questions from Slutshole
Is Slutshole within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Slutshole?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed before we book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris near the joints because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
