Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Westwood, Kent
Gutter sealing across Westwood and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Walls and rooflines in Westwood
With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 4.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westwood 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bean Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How we handle gutter sealing in Westwood
We work across Westwood on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on roofline trims, garage door frames and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are old sealant on roofline trims that has split and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Somewhere as small as Westwood, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

More services for Westwood
Do you need gutter sealing in Westwood?
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
Letting a property close to Longfield station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Westwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We check our work before we leave.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Westwood
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Longfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do gutter sealing in Westwood?
Yes, Westwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- A gutter length that has split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
