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
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Gutter sealing in Swanley
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We are often asked to deal with water running down the wall below the gutter and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
In a smaller place like Swanley, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What gutter sealing looks like in Swanley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Lullingstone Castle (about 2.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Swanley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Swanley station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Swanley in your area for gutter sealing?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Advice

What affects the quote in Swanley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
For anyone letting property in or around Swanley, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
