About our gutter sealing in Spencers Wood
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. If you’re dealing with end caps that drip every time it rains and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Spencers Wood range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Walls and rooflines in Spencers Wood
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 3.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Spencers Wood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in.

- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
