Gutter sealing in Highgate
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter isn’t damaged. If you are dealing with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Highgate, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a London area like Highgate, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

FAQs for Highgate
I let a flat near Upper Holloway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What gutter sealing looks like in Highgate
Historic houses like Witanhurst (about 0.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Highgate has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around Highgate United Reformed Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common problems we fix in Highgate
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Rushed repairs often don’t last long.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- End caps that drip every time it rains
If you let a flat or house near Upper Holloway station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
