About our gutter sealing in Upchurch
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for old sealant on roofline trims that has split and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on soffit joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
Around Upchurch, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. A failed seal makes them leak.
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a village or hamlet like Upchurch, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

When to call us in Upchurch
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee

What else we do in Upchurch
Why deal with it now?
You don’t 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upchurch can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

- Fully insured

Common questions in Upchurch
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Upchurch?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work in Upchurch?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Walls and rooflines in Upchurch
Upchurch is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 Rainham (Kent) station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holywell Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
