What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Little Braxted
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on garage door frames, roofline trims and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.
Older homes in small places like Little Braxted may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Little Braxted and everywhere else we cover.

Little Braxted buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Maltings Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Witham station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Little Braxted is about 1 mile east of Witham, in Essex.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Little Braxted, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Little Braxted
Landlords and letting agents in Little Braxted can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- A gutter length that has split
- Problems with the roof covering
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Little Braxted: your questions answered
I let a flat near Witham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Braxted?
Yes. Little Braxted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed once we know more.
Which products do you use?
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
