The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Leavenheath 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.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Leavenheath
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter isn’t damaged. Common call-outs are for quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Around Leavenheath, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Is Leavenheath within the area you cover?
Yes, Leavenheath is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards and we’ll let you know if a board has failed.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Leavenheath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When to call us in Leavenheath
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
Rented homes near Bures station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
