Gutter sealing in Ballards Gore
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We’re often asked to deal with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, across uPVC fascias, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
Older homes in small places like Ballards Gore may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Historic houses like Southchurch Hall (about 4.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Ballards Gore has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Fascias that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ballards Gore can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.

How we quote for gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
