Elastomeric bitumen sealant

[JBR]

Hi

I need to seal some joints in my guttering but, as they lie between the conservatory and the house wall, I must do this from below - there is insufficient access from above. I thought about trying something like this:

but I've no experience of using it. I have contacted this company to ask for some information, especially whether it is viscous enough to apply from below without dripping off, but they are not replying.

Can anyone offer any advice, please?

What material is the guttering you want to fix made of?

Plastic.

I assume from this that this product isn't much good. Are there any other similar products that you know of that would do a better job?

Apologise if i got this wrong but i'm assuming you are going to attempt to repair the gutter joints by putting the sealant on the joints from underneath as opposed to opening the joints clearing them out applying the sealant then re-joining them.

Unlikely the sealant will drip btw.

Yes. The problem is that the gutter is effectively inaccessible without removing the entire conservatory roof. A cowboy job, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the assurance re. dripping!
