Gutter sealing in Wokingham
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. Common call-outs are for water running down the wall below the gutter and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, across soffit joints, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
Larger buildings in Wokingham have plenty of movement joints, cladding joints and roofline trims. A failed joint lets water behind the brick or render, where it often goes unnoticed for a while.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Gutter sealing in Wokingham: local notes
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.
Schools such as Walter Infant School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Wokingham
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Garage door frames letting rain in

Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
