The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Little Dunmow, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are water running down the wall below the gutter and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Fascias that need replacing
- Blocked downpipes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Dripping gutter ends
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Look along the fascias for open joints
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
