How we handle gutter sealing in Westwood
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We work on soffit joints, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant along roofline trims and old gutter sealant that has let go.
Around Westwood, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What else we do in Westwood
What gutter sealing looks like in Westwood
With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 4.9 miles south) 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Guttering that needs replacing

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. Somewhere like Westwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
Westwood: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do gutter sealing in Westwood?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westwood is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you fit new guttering?
That is not something we do. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
