What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Gutter sealing in Benslow
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Benslow add more joints to look after. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Benslow
Do you cover Benslow for gutter sealing?
Yes, Benslow is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Hitchin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. When their seal fails, they drip.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Benslow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.

Advice
What else we do in Benslow
Why act early in Benslow
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. In an older home around Benslow, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Benslow buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Saviour, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hitchin station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Ransom Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Deal with a drip before winter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Blocked downpipes
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Boards that have decayed or split
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
