What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a village or hamlet like Havering-atte-Bower, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Havering-atte-Bower
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you’re dealing with quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Havering-atte-Bower, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Walls and rooflines in Havering-atte-Bower
Historic houses like Hare Hall (about 2.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Havering-atte-Bower has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Dame Tipping Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around Havering-atte-Bower, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

When to call us in Havering-atte-Bower
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
If you let a flat or house near Harold Wood station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

I let a flat near Harold Wood station. Can you help?

How long will you be here?

Do you replace gutters or fascias?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing so you can call the right trade.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
