Chignall Smealy: your questions answered
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Chignall Smealy?
Yes, Chignall Smealy is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Sort out a dripping joint early
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A gutter length that has split
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Walls and rooflines in Chignall Smealy
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Hylands (about 4.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chignall Smealy as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newlands Spring Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Chelmsford station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Advice
Why act early in Chignall Smealy
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chignall Smealy, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
