About our gutter sealing in Hunsdon
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and drips from gutter joints and end caps, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and gutter joints.
Somewhere as small as Hunsdon, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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 are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Hunsdon
What happens if it’s left?
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 a small place like Hunsdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hunsdon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Hunsdon
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
For landlords with property near Roydon station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Outside joints around Hunsdon
Historic houses like Much Hadham Palace (about 3.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hunsdon has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around St Francis Chapel, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Hunsdon Junior Mixed and Infant School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
