About our gutter sealing in Yarrowford
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. 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. If you have damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can put it right, on soffit joints, gutter joints and uPVC fascias alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
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. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

Is gutter sealing in Yarrowford guaranteed?

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant usually stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
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 work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the amount of work.

- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
