Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
About our gutter sealing in Finsbury
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and open joints in fascias and soffits.
Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Finsbury, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Questions from Finsbury
Is parking a problem for a job in Finsbury?
Parking in Finsbury, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Old Street station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
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 that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Finsbury can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Finsbury, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In Finsbury, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Finsbury
With historic houses such as Mansion House (about 0.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Finsbury as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Prior Weston Primary School and Children's Centre are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. As a London address, Finsbury can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you let a flat or house near Old Street station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
