Gutter sealing in Biggin
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We’re often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, across garage door frames, gutter end caps and soffit joints.
Around Biggin, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a quick reseal.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
What gutter sealing looks like in Biggin
Biggin is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Tilbury Pioneer Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Questions from Biggin
Will you come out to Biggin?
Yes. Biggin is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Tilbury Town station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we’ll say so.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
