How we handle gutter sealing in South Down
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. Typical jobs include dripping gutter ends and trim joints where the sealant has failed, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and soffit joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in South Down is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep ladders off the guttering
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a village or hamlet like South Down, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like South Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What gutter sealing looks like in South Down
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Shawford station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you look after a building such as Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

South Down questions
Will you come out to South Down?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Signs you need gutter sealing in South Down
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
