Walls and rooflines in West Hill
West Hill is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Brighton 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 Galeed Strict Baptist Chapel, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like St Paul's CofE Primary School and Nursery? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

About our gutter sealing in West Hill
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are garage door frames letting rain in and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
In a smaller place like West Hill, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are usually the first to go.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the quote in West Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Why deal with it now?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Around West Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

FAQs for West Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Brighton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in West Hill?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
We do. Our work is the joints, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, gutter and fascia work included.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking around West Hill is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
