How we handle gutter sealing in Wickstreet
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. If you’re dealing with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Wickstreet is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wickstreet as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickstreet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What gutter sealing looks like in Wickstreet
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Michelham Priory (about 1.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wickstreet has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bede's Prep School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Questions from Wickstreet
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wickstreet?
Yes. Wickstreet is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly with a suitable exterior sealant.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Which products 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.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What we’re called out for in Wickstreet
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last so the brackets need attention first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Pancras, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
