What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Howegreen needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Howegreen
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. We work on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
In a village or hamlet like Howegreen, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Boards that have decayed or split
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Howegreen
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
Schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

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.
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit, where one is available.
Walls and rooflines in Howegreen
Historic houses like Danbury Place (about 4.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Howegreen 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near North Fambridge station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
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.
Common questions in Howegreen
Can you help a landlord with a rental near North Fambridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do gutter sealing in Howegreen?
Yes, Howegreen is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last, and we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
