Gutter sealing in The Platt
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are old gutter sealant that has let go and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.
Somewhere as small as The Platt, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in The Platt and everywhere else we cover.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.

We clean the joints we are sealing and clear debris we find nearby. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Gutter sealing in The Platt: 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. With historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around The Platt as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Alban, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Frant Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What else we do in The Platt
Do you need gutter sealing in The Platt?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Look out for these signs:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Dripping gutter ends
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Letting a property close to Frant station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

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.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as The Platt, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
