About our gutter sealing in Tilgate
We work across Tilgate on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and people most often call us about quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
In a smaller place like Tilgate, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Tilgate, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. In an older home around Tilgate, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Towns and villages near Tilgate
Also in Tilgate
Outside joints around Tilgate
Tilgate is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. With historic houses such as Tyes Place (about 4.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tilgate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around Holy Trinity, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as The Oaks Primary School & Nursery, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Crawley station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Problems with the roof covering
- A gutter length that has split
- Boards that have decayed or split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Tilgate
Do you cover smaller places like Tilgate?
Yes, Tilgate is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do older homes in Tilgate need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
