Landlord and commercial work in Braintree
For anyone letting property in or around Braintree, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Gutter sealing in Braintree
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. If you’re dealing with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and soffit joints alike.
Flats, offices and shops in Braintree have long runs of movement joints, cladding joints and roofline trims. A failed joint lets water behind the brick or render, where it often goes unnoticed for a while.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Braintree buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, 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 a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Homes close to Congregational Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Bradfords Infant and Nursery School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Braintree
Do you cover Braintree for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Braintree is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Braintree?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. In flats, shops and offices in Braintree, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In central Braintree, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. Let us know about stairs, lifts or shared entrances too.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
