What gutter sealing looks like in Thorington Street
Historic houses like Castle House (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Thorington Street has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
Around Thorington Street, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our gutter sealing in Thorington Street
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. If you have wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, we can help, on gutter joints, roofline trims and garage door frames alike.
Around Thorington Street, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. In a small place like Thorington Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Boards that have decayed or split
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Roofline trims
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris near the joints, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Are you an approved applicator?

Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
