Gutter sealing in Great Wigborough, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for old sealant on roofline trims that has split and water dripping where gutter sections meet, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints.
Older homes in small places like Great Wigborough may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Great Wigborough and everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Great Wigborough
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
Around Great Wigborough, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Outside joints around Great Wigborough
Great Wigborough is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower (about 2.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Great Wigborough 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Stephen, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Common questions in Great Wigborough
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Great Wigborough?
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 Great Wigborough for gutter sealing?
Yes, Great Wigborough is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does gutter sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will tell you when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Roofline trims

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
Why act early in Great Wigborough
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Wigborough, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
