Gutter sealing in Yelsted, done properly
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and gutter joints, and people most often call us about leaking gutter joints and stop ends and rain getting in around a garage door.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Yelsted is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Yelsted as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Yelsted
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Yelsted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Yelsted buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Rainham (Kent) station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
