Questions from Hawkwell
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hockley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hawkwell?
Yes. Hawkwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Gutter sealing in Hawkwell
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We’re often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and open joints in fascias and soffits, across uPVC fascias, roofline trims and soffit joints.
In a smaller place like Hawkwell, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hawkwell and across Essex.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. A visit to Hawkwell is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint

Other services in Hawkwell
Walls and rooflines in Hawkwell
With historic houses such as Southchurch Hall (about 4.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hawkwell 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. 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.
Schools such as Westerings Primary Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Hockley station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Do you need gutter sealing in Hawkwell?
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For an older house near a landmark such as Emmanuel Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why deal with it now?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In an older home around Hawkwell, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Hawkwell clients choose us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
