Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in West Hougham can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Gutter sealing in West Hougham, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. We work on garage door frames, roofline trims and gutter joints, and people most often call us about dripping gutter ends and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Somewhere as small as West Hougham, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in West Hougham and everywhere else we cover.

West Hougham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in West Hougham?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you reach high gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in West Hougham
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
- Gutter end caps
Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like West Hougham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep downpipes clear
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Watch for drips in a downpour
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Walls and rooflines in West Hougham
West Hougham is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 4.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Hougham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you look after a building such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Kearsney station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
