Gutter sealing in Gravesend
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We are often asked to deal with dripping gutter ends and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, across gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Gravesend is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Gravesend questions
Is Gravesend in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Gravesend is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Gravesend?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours from start to finish. Somewhere like Gravesend needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
What gutter sealing looks like in Gravesend
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 3.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gravesend as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gravesend
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Gravesend, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Common problems we fix in Gravesend
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Rented homes near Bishops Stortford station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
