Gutter sealing in High Ongar, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and roofline trims, and people most often call us about stop ends leaking at the end of a run and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
In a village or hamlet like High Ongar, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in High Ongar as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like High Ongar, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets

High Ongar questions
Is gutter sealing in High Ongar guaranteed?
All our work, in High Ongar and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover High Ongar for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and High Ongar is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is it OK to seal over 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. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
High Ongar buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like High Ongar, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint

When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

What else we do in High Ongar
When to call us in High Ongar
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Garage door frames letting rain in
If you look after a building such as High Ongar Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
