DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Gutter sealing in Trench Green, done properly
We work across Trench Green on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on a garage door frame and end caps that drip every time it rains.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Trench Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What gutter sealing looks like in Trench Green
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 1.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Trench Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Tilehurst station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep downpipes clear
- Sort out a dripping joint early
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Trench Green
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. In a small place like Trench Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
