About our gutter sealing in Westgate-on-Sea
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We are often asked to deal with internal damp traced to a gutter joint and end caps that drip every time it rains, on soffit joints, garage door frames and roofline trims.
In a smaller place like Westgate-on-Sea, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westgate-on-Sea
Landlords and letting agents in Westgate-on-Sea can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a job in Westgate-on-Sea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.

FAQs for Westgate-on-Sea
Do you work for landlords with property near Westgate-On-Sea station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Westgate-on-Sea any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant usually stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
