About our gutter sealing in Copford
We work across Copford on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach, and for higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed. If you have old gutter sealant that has let go and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Copford may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What affects the quote in Copford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
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.

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Copford buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Copford 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.
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Albright, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Stanway School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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 Copford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Do you remove the old sealant?

No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
