Gutter sealing in Whitwell, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints, and people most often call us about cracked sealant along roofline trims and old gutter sealant that has let go.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Whitwell is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. In a small place like Whitwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Whitwell: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Whitwell any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
Common problems we fix in Whitwell
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints

- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
Gutter sealing in Whitwell: local notes
Whitwell is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Niton Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
