Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Broomfield
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for dripping gutter ends and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on soffit joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
In a smaller place like Broomfield, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Broomfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Walls and rooflines in Broomfield
Historic houses like Hylands (about 4.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Broomfield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Chelmer Valley High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Broomfield is about 2 miles north of Chelmsford, in Essex. Broomfield gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex, from the larger towns to small villages.
Work in CM1 and CM3 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Mandeville Way, Court Road and Gernon Close, and we cover them all. We also cover Little Waltham (1 mile north), Minnow End (1 mile north), Breeds (1 mile north-west), Patching (2 miles south) and Great Waltham (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Basildon (14 miles south), Braintree (9 miles north-east), Harlow (15 miles west), Brentwood (12 miles south-west), Maldon (10 miles east) and Billericay (10 miles south).

Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In an older home around Broomfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Broomfield
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Letting a property close to Beaulieu Park station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Common questions in Broomfield
I let a flat near Beaulieu Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Broomfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints

How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
For gutter sealing in Broomfield, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
