Gutter sealing in Boxted Cross, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are dripping gutter ends and old gutter sealant that has let go.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Boxted Cross is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Boxted Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Boxted Cross buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Castle House (about 3.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boxted Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Boxted St Peter's Church of England School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Colchester station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boxted Cross
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Around Boxted Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
