How we handle gutter sealing in West Dean
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are trim joints where the sealant has failed and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as West Dean, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame

What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
What gutter sealing looks like in West Dean
Historic houses like West Dean House (about 0.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around West Dean has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Fishbourne station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep downpipes clear
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
FAQs for West Dean
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do gutter sealing in West Dean?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Dean is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How much does gutter sealing cost in West Dean?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
We do. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
