- Water running down the wall below the gutter
Gutter sealing in Guildford
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We’re often asked to deal with end caps that drip every time it rains and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and gutter joints.
In a large town like Guildford, plenty of buildings are rented or managed, and outside joints are easy to forget. A failed joint above a door or a dripping gutter end is usually the first sign.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.

Common questions in Guildford
I let a flat near London Road (Guildford) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Guildford in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Guildford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Walls and rooflines in Guildford
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 Guildford Castle (about 0.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Guildford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Sandfield Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. Commercial jobs in Guildford can be planned out of hours where a building cannot close, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
