Swallowfield Gutter Sealing
Professional gutter sealing in and around Swallowfield, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Why deal with it now?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swallowfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Gutter sealing in Swallowfield
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. If you’re dealing with water dripping where gutter sections meet and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and uPVC fascias alike.
Around Swallowfield, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Swallowfield
Will you come out to Swallowfield?
Yes. Swallowfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mortimer station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and clear debris we find nearby. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.

Advice
Swallowfield buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House (about 2.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Swallowfield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Lambs Lane Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
