About our gutter sealing in West Reading
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and water running down the wall below the gutter, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and garage door frames.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like West Reading add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Parking around West Reading is generally 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 trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. In a smaller place like West Reading, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Boards that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Gutter sealing in West Reading: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 2.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Reading as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Rented homes near Reading West station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as Battle School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
West Reading is about 1 mile north-west of Reading, in Reading. West Reading gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. West Reading is one of 34 places in Reading we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
FAQs for West Reading
Do you work for landlords with property near Reading West station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover West Reading for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Reading is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does gutter sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, gutter and fascia work included.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in West Reading
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
In the older streets around Church of St Mark, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
