About our gutter sealing in South Kensington
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 quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and failed sealant on a garage door frame, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. For a flat in South Kensington, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

South Kensington: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Brompton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover South Kensington for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and South Kensington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That is not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover South Kensington, along with the rest of our area.
Gutter sealing in South Kensington: local notes
In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Chapel of St Luke, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. South Kensington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In South Kensington, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Do you need gutter sealing in South Kensington?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Rented homes near West Brompton station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
