How we handle gutter sealing in Barbican Estate
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. We’re often asked to deal with water dripping where gutter sections meet and cracked sealant along roofline trims, on roofline trims, gutter joints and soffit joints.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. In Barbican Estate, joints up high may need ladders or other access, which is worth talking through when you book.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. When it splits, water can get behind.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is generally enough.

What else we do in Barbican Estate
What we’re called out for in Barbican Estate
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
If you live in an older home near St Giles-without-Cripplegate, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a London area like Barbican Estate, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Barbican Estate buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Mansion House (about 0.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Barbican Estate as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
Rented homes near Moorgate station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Barbican Estate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Common questions in Barbican Estate
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Barbican Estate?
Parking in Barbican Estate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you do gutter sealing in Barbican Estate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Barbican Estate is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
