How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Stone Copse, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Gutter sealing in Stone Copse
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and water dripping where gutter sections meet, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and gutter joints.
Somewhere as small as Stone Copse, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. A failed seal makes them leak.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Stone Copse questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Copse?
Yes. Stone Copse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Stone Copse in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Stone Copse is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?

Is the work guaranteed?

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What gutter sealing looks like in Stone Copse
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 1 mile south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stone Copse 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.
Managing a site like Fir Tree Primary School and Nursery? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stone Copse can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
