Gutter sealing in Fordham
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. If you’re dealing with open joints in fascias and soffits and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can help, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and roofline trims alike.
Somewhere as small as Fordham, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Fordham and everywhere else we cover.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Fordham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- We check our work before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What gutter sealing looks like in Fordham
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common problems we fix in Fordham
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up so we check the cause first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
For landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What else we do in Fordham
How we quote for gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fordham questions
Is Fordham within the area you cover?
Yes. Fordham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do gutter sealing in Fordham?
Yes, Fordham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep downpipes clear
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
