Gutter sealing in Whitley, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have leaking gutter joints and stop ends and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Whitley add more joints to look after. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Whitley questions
Is Whitley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading Green Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, gutter and fascia work included.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a smaller place like Whitley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Whitley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Agnes, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Rented homes near Reading Green Park station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you look after a building such as John Madejski Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Whitley
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
