Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Great Canfield
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and water dripping where gutter sections meet, on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
Around Great Canfield, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Great Canfield 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.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Do you need gutter sealing in Great Canfield?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. A neat bead closes them up.
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach once clean and dry.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Outside joints around Great Canfield

Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
