Gutter sealing in Southover

Gutter sealing in Southover, done properly

Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We work on uPVC fascias, roofline trims and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down the wall below the gutter and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.

Around Southover, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Outside joints around Southover

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Anne of Cleves House (about 0.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Southover has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Lewes station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Should I try it myself 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Southover

Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
  • Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
  • Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
  • Trim joints where the sealant has failed

Schools such as Western Road Community Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Southover?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?

Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured.

Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?

Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.

Is it messy?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

What the job involves on each surface

Garage door frames

The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.

Gutter end caps

End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.

How it works

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Southover, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
  2. We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
  3. We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
  4. We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
  5. We check the run and clear debris near the joints.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice

Why deal with it now?

You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound. In a smaller place like Southover, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
