Our gutter sealing service in Hertfordshire

Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are drips from gutter joints and end caps and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job.

  1. We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
  2. We clean out each joint.
  3. The joints are dried.
  4. The sealant is applied and finished.
  5. We check our work before we leave.

Local landmarks in Watford

Around Watford, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Estcourt Arms, Watford St John's Church of England Primary School and Church of St Andrew and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Cassiobury Park (0.8 miles west) and The Watford UTC (0.5 miles east). Watford has its own railway station: Watford Junction station. Other landmarks nearby include Hilfield Castle (2.8 miles east) and Charter Place (0.5 miles south). Not far away are Harrow Weald Common.

Walls and rooflines across Hertfordshire

Homes across Hertfordshire range from older brick and stone to modern render and cladding. Where two materials meet is where water usually gets in.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Hertfordshire is planned around the weather.

Watford: Schools such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Watford Junction station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
  • Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
  • Don’t leave a sagging gutter
  • Look at the gutters while it’s raining

Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.

Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.

For landlords and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Landlords and agents in Hertfordshire can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Leave it or put it right?

Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • The length of the guarantee

How the job changes by surface

uPVC fascias

Fascia board joints can open up. They’re sealed tidily with a matching sealant where possible.

Garage door frames

The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.

How we quote for gutter sealing

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • Access and height
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The number and length of the joints

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • The rough size of the job
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Hertfordshire questions

How long does the job take?

Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Should I try DIY first?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Can you fit new guttering?

That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.

Do you work on high-level gutters?

It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

Do you cover Hertfordshire?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Hertfordshire.
