Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for homes and businesses in West Cross and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
How we handle gutter sealing in West Cross
We work across West Cross on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm what access is needed. If you’re dealing with fascia boards with gaps between them and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like West Cross, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in West Cross
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the cure time is
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around West Cross
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 3.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Rolvenden Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
