- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in West Dulwich
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on roofline trims, gutter joints and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in around a garage door and water running down the wall below the gutter.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. In a converted house in West Dulwich, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Will you clear out my gutters?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you replace gutters or fascias?

Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Dulwich. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

Advice
Signs you need gutter sealing in West Dulwich
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Rented homes near Sydenham Hill station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- A gutter length that has split
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in West Dulwich
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
West Dulwich buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Kingswood House (about 0.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Dulwich as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Dulwich Wood Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Stephen, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
