Ilford Gutter Sealing
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Ilford? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.

Gutter sealing in Ilford, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you are dealing with water running down the wall below the gutter and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can put it right.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. For a flat in Ilford, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Walls and rooflines in Ilford
London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts. With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 0.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ilford 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.
Ilford is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Ilford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Ilford: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Ilford?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you do gutter sealing in Ilford?
Yes, Ilford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last and we’ll say so.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In Ilford, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Ilford and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
If you manage several properties in or around Ilford, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Ilford.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

What we’re called out for in Ilford
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For an older house near a landmark such as St Alban's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch for drips in a downpour
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
