About our gutter sealing in Great Bentley
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. Typical jobs include stop ends leaking at the end of a run and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Great Bentley add more joints to look after. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In an older home around Great Bentley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

Great Bentley buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 4.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Great Bentley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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 St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Bentley Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
