Gutter sealing in Westmill, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Westmill is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t 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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Westmill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.

Westmill buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Freman College? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets

How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. They’re sealed tidily in a suitable colour.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Westmill
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westmill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Westmill questions
Will you come out to Westmill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is gutter sealing in Westmill guaranteed?
All our work, in Westmill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
