Gutter sealing in Thakeham, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and end caps that drip every time it rains.
Older homes in small places like Thakeham may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Thakeham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Thakeham
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Around Thakeham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.

Gutter sealing in Thakeham: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Parham House (about 3.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Thakeham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
