How we handle gutter sealing in Upperton
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and uPVC fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down the wall below the gutter and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Older homes in small places like Upperton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Upperton and across West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a village or hamlet like Upperton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

What happens if it’s left?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In a small place like Upperton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We’re fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What else we do in Upperton
Walls and rooflines in Upperton
Historic houses like Petworth House (about 1.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upperton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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 live in an older home near The Parish Church of All Hallows, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Surfaces we seal
- Gutter joints
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
