About our gutter sealing in Tortington
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for dripping gutter ends and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Tortington is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.

Tortington buildings and the weather
Tortington 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’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Ford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. In the older streets around St Mary Magdalene's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Tortington
Is Tortington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you clean gutters?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant usually stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What we’re called out for in Tortington
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Schools such as Arundel CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tortington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
