What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Westcott Barton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- 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 earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How we handle gutter sealing in Westcott Barton
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We’re often asked to deal with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and water dripping where gutter sections meet, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
Older homes in small places like Westcott Barton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Older cottages and farmhouses around Westcott Barton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Westcott Barton: your questions answered
Is Westcott Barton within the area you cover?
Yes, Westcott Barton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Heyford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealing a sagging joint will not last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Common problems we fix in Westcott Barton
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
In the older streets around Church of St Edward the Confessor, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Westcott Barton buildings and the weather
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.
Schools such as Middle Barton Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Heyford station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
