Securing a channel section 7 onto a pre-existing substrate 9 using screws 11 requires any water-impermeable layer on the substrate 9 to be compromised. In particular, water present on a head of a screw 11 may wick (i.e. via capillary action) along the thread of a screw, past the water-impermeable layer, and into the core of the substrate 9. The present invention provides a sealing device with a fluid inlet 6 for injecting fluid sealant therethrough to surround a screw 11, thereby preventing wicking of water along threads of the screw.
