In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Small Dole
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. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
Around Small Dole, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Questions from Small Dole
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Small Dole?
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.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What we’re called out for in Small Dole
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Letting a property close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Small Dole, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a small place like Small Dole, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
