Upper Dicker buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Michelham Priory (about 0.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upper Dicker has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Bede's Prep School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Gutter sealing in Upper Dicker, done properly
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on gutter end caps, roofline trims and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Dicker, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

FAQs for Upper Dicker
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Dicker?
Yes. Upper Dicker is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.

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 getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. We clean, dry and reseal them.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A gutter length that has split
- Fascias that need replacing
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Upper Dicker, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
