About our gutter sealing in Great Wakering
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are garage door frames letting rain in and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
Homes around Great Wakering range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Great Wakering
Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In a smaller place like Great Wakering, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What gutter sealing looks like in Great Wakering
Great Wakering is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Shoeburyness station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Great Wakering is about 1 mile north-east of Shoeburyness, in Southend-on-Sea.

FAQs for Great Wakering
Does the coastal weather in Great Wakering affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Wakering?
Yes, Great Wakering is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
What does gutter sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
How long does gutter sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a job in Great Wakering, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Great Wakering
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
If you look after a building such as Great Wakering Primary Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
