Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.
Gutter sealing in Whatlington
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on a garage door frame and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Whatlington, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whatlington and across East Sussex.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Whatlington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common problems we fix in Whatlington
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
Managing a site like Vinehall School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Whatlington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What gutter sealing looks like in Whatlington
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. With historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (about 0.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Whatlington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Battle station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. In the older streets around St Mary Magdalene's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
FAQs for Whatlington

Yes, Whatlington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
