The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Thorley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How we handle gutter sealing in Thorley
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. Typical jobs include rain getting in around a garage door and fascia boards with gaps between them, across gutter joints, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
In a village or hamlet like Thorley, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from Thorley
Do you cover smaller places like Thorley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Thorley affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Thorley?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep downpipes clear
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a small place like Thorley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Thorley buildings and the weather
Thorley is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (about 3.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Thorley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Lymington Pier station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. In the older streets around St. Swithin's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Problems with the roof covering
