What we need to know

Gutter sealing in Bocking, done properly
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Typical jobs include water running down the wall below the gutter and rain getting in around a garage door, across uPVC fascias, gutter joints and garage door frames.
Houses in smaller places like Bocking can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.

Bocking: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bocking?
Yes. Bocking is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Braintree station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that’s what we find.
What does gutter sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What we’re called out for in Bocking
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
Walls and rooflines in Bocking
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.
Letting a property close to Braintree station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as St Francis Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. For a job in Bocking, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
