- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Gutter sealing in Elder Street, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are stop ends leaking at the end of a run and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Older homes in small places like Elder Street may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Outside joints around Elder Street
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 Horham Hall (about 3.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Elder Street 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.
For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 3.5 miles south, show how far back building around Elder Street goes.

Questions from Elder Street
Can you do gutter sealing in Elder Street?
Yes, Elder Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Elder Street?
Yes, Elder Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints

- Gutter end caps
Why it’s worth doing now in Elder Street
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. In a small place like Elder Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
