About gutter sealing in Essex

Across Essex, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and water dripping where gutter sections meet, on garage door frames, gutter joints and gutter end caps.

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.

We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
The joints are dried.
The sealant is applied and finished.
We check our work before we leave.

In Colchester, that means homes and buildings near Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House. You’ll also find Colchester Sixth Form College (within half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (within half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Well-known places in the area include Lion Walk (under half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (less than half a mile south-west). Not far away are Westhouse Wood.

Gutter sealing across Essex: local notes

From Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon to its smaller places, buildings across Essex have walls, gutters and rooflines of every age. All of them move, so they need a flexible sealant at the right depth.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Essex. Essex includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.

Colchester: For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Colchester Sixth Form College? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Look along the fascias for open joints
Look at the gutters while it’s raining

Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.

Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

What sealant work cannot fix

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

Boards that have decayed or split
Guttering that needs replacing
Problems with the roof covering

How we quote for gutter sealing

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

The type of sealant required
The old material and how stubborn it is
Mould in or behind the old joints
How many areas need sealing

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Whether it has been sealed before

There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need gutter sealing

Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
End caps that drip every time it rains
Old gutter sealant that has let go
Open joints in fascias and soffits

How the job changes by surface

uPVC fascias

Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.

Roofline trims

Trim joints are cut out and resealed.

Essex questions

Do you come to Essex?

Yes. We work in Essex, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Is gutter cleaning part of the job?

We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Essex.
