Gutter sealing in Hackney Central

Your questions about gutter sealing in Hackney Central

Do you work for landlords with property near London Fields station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is Hackney Central in your area for gutter sealing?

Yes, Hackney Central is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

What about gutters on a second or third storey?

That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Do you clean gutters?

The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.

What do you put in the joint?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Gutter sealing in Hackney Central

A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. Typical jobs include rain getting in around a garage door and old gutter sealant that has let go, across gutter joints, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.

Modern London flats rely on sealed movement joints and cladding joints. Older terraces have their own weak points: gutter joints, roofline trims and the joint where an extension meets the original wall.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Get leaks sealed before the wet months
  • Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
  • Look along the fascias for open joints

Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.

Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

Surface by surface

uPVC fascias

Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.

Roofline trims

We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.

Outside joints around Hackney Central

Historic houses like Sutton House (about 0.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Hackney Central has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

As a London address, Hackney Central can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

The process

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

  1. We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
  2. We clean out each joint.
  3. The joints are dried.
  4. The sealant is applied and finished.
  5. We check our work before we leave.

Advice

Why deal with it now?

Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

How we quote for gutter sealing

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The amount of work
  • Access and height
  • Which sealant suits the joint

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • If someone has resealed it before

To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Hackney Central

End caps get knocked or pushed by water. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.

The problems people generally mention when they call include:

  • Water dripping where gutter sections meet
  • Fascia boards with gaps between them
  • Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
  • Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint

Schools such as Gayhurst Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
