About our gutter sealing in The Hythe
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We work on garage door frames, gutter joints and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are open joints in fascias and soffits and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Houses in smaller places like The Hythe can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That’s where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and the area is left clean. A visit to The Hythe is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Gutter sealing in The Hythe: local notes
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard at the Hythe, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Hythe station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Do you need gutter sealing in The Hythe?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kendall Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
