Gutter sealing in Bicknacre, done properly
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about garage door frames letting rain in and dripping gutter ends.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Bicknacre is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bicknacre as everywhere else we work.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is normally enough.
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. When their seal fails, they drip.
Bicknacre: your questions answered
I let a flat near South Woodham Ferrers station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do gutter sealing in Bicknacre?
Yes, Bicknacre is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
It will not last. The joint will pull apart, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
When something else is needed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bicknacre buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bicknacre as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to South Woodham Ferrers station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When to call us in Bicknacre
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
If you look after a building such as Priory Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
