About our gutter sealing in Hobbs Cross
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Common call-outs are for water dripping where gutter sections meet and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, across gutter joints, roofline trims and garage door frames.
Around Hobbs Cross, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Hobbs Cross
Do you cover Hobbs Cross for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hobbs Cross is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hobbs Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What does gutter sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Hobbs Cross buildings and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 0.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hobbs Cross 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Controlled School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a village or hamlet like Hobbs Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- 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’re there.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we’re called out for in Hobbs Cross
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Hobbs Cross can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hobbs Cross
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a small place like Hobbs Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
