How we handle gutter sealing in Foxholes
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Foxholes, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Foxholes as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Foxholes
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
Letting a property close to Hertford East station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Foxholes buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wheatcroft Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Around Foxholes, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. A visit to Foxholes is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
