Gutter sealing in Southwater, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We are often asked to deal with drips from gutter joints and end caps and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.
Around Southwater, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Outside joints around Southwater
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Holy Innocents Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Christs Hospital station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Southwater is about 3 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. Southwater gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Southwater is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover for gutter sealing. You can also see our page for Crawley, about 9 miles away.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Southwater, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- 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.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Southwater
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southwater Infant Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Questions from Southwater
Do you cover Southwater for gutter sealing?
Yes, Southwater is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Christs Hospital station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Southwater and the rest of West Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We will confirm the access for higher gutters before we book.
