Gutter sealing in Upper Bush
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are internal damp traced to a gutter joint and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Bush, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Upper Bush questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Cuxton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do gutter sealing in Upper Bush?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Bush is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Upper Bush, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Bush can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Upper Bush can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
Outside joints around Upper Bush
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Starkey Castle (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Bush as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Cuxton Community Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Cuxton station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
