Landlords, agents and businesses in East Tilbury
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Common questions in East Tilbury
Will you come out to East Tilbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like East Tilbury any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealing a sagging joint will not last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that’s what we find.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
How we quote for gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Common problems we fix in East Tilbury
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Garage door frames letting rain in
Letting a property close to East Tilbury station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Soffit joints
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Roofline trims
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around East Tilbury, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run from start to finish. Parking around East Tilbury is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

East Tilbury buildings and the weather
East Tilbury is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces 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.
In the older streets around St Francis, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like East Tilbury Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
