Gutter sealing in Foster Street
Across Foster Street, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant along roofline trims and garage door frames letting rain in.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Foster Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Around Foster Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What gutter sealing looks like in Foster Street
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. Foster Street is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to Harlow Mill station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Henry Moore Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Foster Street
Is Foster Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Foster Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Foster Street?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Foster Street may already be on their second or third set.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
