Gutter sealing in Abbey Wood

How we handle gutter sealing in Abbey Wood

For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and people most often call us about cracked sealant along roofline trims and open joints in fascias and soffits.

In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. In a converted house in Abbey Wood, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Walls and rooflines in Abbey Wood

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.

In the older streets around Saint Michael and All Angels, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Abbey Wood station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Alexander McLeod Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How it works

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a London area like Abbey Wood, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. First we agree which joints need sealing.
  2. Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
  3. The joints are dried.
  4. The sealant is applied and finished.
  5. The joints are checked once sealed.

How to prepare

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Abbey Wood questions

Is Abbey Wood in your area for gutter sealing?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abbey Wood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is parking a problem for a job in Abbey Wood?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

Is sealing fascia joints something you do?

Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

How long before the joint can be used?

Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

When it isn’t the sealant

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
  • Sagging gutters or broken brackets
  • Boards that have decayed or split

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Gutter joints
  • Garage door frames
  • Soffit joints
  • uPVC fascias
  • Gutter end caps
  • Roofline trims

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
  • Glance at the soffit joints now and then
  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters

Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.

Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

Why act early in Abbey Wood

Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
