Gutter sealing in Great Braxted, done properly
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you are dealing with trim joints where the sealant has failed and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Great Braxted, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Great Braxted
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Is Great Braxted in your area for gutter sealing?

How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Gutter joints
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
