About our gutter sealing in Harwich
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.
Extensions are a common sight on houses around Harwich, and the joint where new wall meets old is a classic place for water to get in. Sealing it properly means the right joint depth and a flexible sealant, not a quick bead.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Harwich
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Harwich they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

What gutter sealing looks like in Harwich
Harwich is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harwich and Dovercourt High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Common questions in Harwich
Does the coastal weather in Harwich 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.
I let a flat near Dovercourt station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you work in Harwich?
Yes. We cover Harwich. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. A visit in Harwich needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.

Common problems we fix in Harwich
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Look out for these signs:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
Letting a property close to Dovercourt station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
