Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Bow Common
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. If you have internal damp traced to a gutter joint and water running down the wall below the gutter, we can help, whatever the surface.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. In a converted house in Bow Common, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
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.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In Bow Common, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Bow Common questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bow Common?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work for landlords with property near Limehouse station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
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 will tell you what we’re using.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Bow Common
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
Rented homes near Limehouse station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business

- A few photos by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Bow Common, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
