The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Doddinghurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Landlord and commercial work in Doddinghurst
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Doddinghurst buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Ingatestone Hall (about 3.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Doddinghurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Doddinghurst Infant School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.

When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep downpipes clear
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
