Gutter sealing in Higham, done properly
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you have end caps that drip every time it rains and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can help.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Higham is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. In a small place like Higham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When to call us in Higham
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
For landlords with property near Manningtree station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
What gutter sealing looks like in Higham
Historic houses like Castle House (about 2.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Higham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Managing a site like Stratford St Mary Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Higham: your questions answered
Do you cover Higham for gutter sealing?
Yes, Higham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Higham within the area you cover?
Yes, Higham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealing a sagging joint won’t last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that’s what we find.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
