Gutter sealing in Upper Hardres: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Gutter sealing in Upper Hardres, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you are dealing with wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can help, on gutter end caps, gutter joints and soffit joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Hardres, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Upper Hardres and everywhere else we cover.

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 a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Upper Hardres needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Upper Hardres
Can you do gutter sealing in Upper Hardres?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Hardres is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we are called out for in Upper Hardres
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Hardres
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In a small place like Upper Hardres, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
