Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Frating Green, Essex
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Frating Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
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.
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.
Gutter sealing in Frating Green
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you have wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can put it right.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Frating Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What affects the quote in Frating Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch for drips in a downpour
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a village or hamlet like Frating Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
