Gutter sealing in Lawford, done properly
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. If you have damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, on garage door frames, soffit joints and uPVC fascias alike.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Lawford add more joints to look after. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lawford and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Lawford
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Lawford?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with the job?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you come to Lawford?
We do. Lawford is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will tell you when we quote.
Outside joints around Lawford
Lawford is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Schools such as Manningtree High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Manningtree station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. A visit to Lawford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- We check our work before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
