Gutter sealing in South Bersted
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. We’re often asked to deal with leaking gutter joints and stop ends and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints.
Around South Bersted, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. If boards are damaged, we will tell you.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in South Bersted and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Gutter joints

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
When to call us in South Bersted
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Rushed repairs often don’t last long for this reason.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Rented homes near Bognor Regis station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Outside joints around South Bersted
South Bersted is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like South Bersted CofE Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary Magdalene include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Your questions about gutter sealing in South Bersted
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like South Bersted any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bognor Regis station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you cover South Bersted?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, South Bersted included.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Deal with a drip before winter
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a job in South Bersted, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean 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.
Getting ready for the visit
