How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a village or hamlet like Little Maplestead, the journey is planned in advance: 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 find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Little Maplestead: your questions answered
Will you come out to Little Maplestead?
Yes. Little Maplestead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Little Maplestead for gutter sealing?
Yes, Little Maplestead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What gutter sealing looks like in Little Maplestead
With historic houses such as Hedingham Castle (about 2.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Maplestead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Bures station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Managing a site like The Ramsey Academy? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.

What else we do in Little Maplestead
When to call us in Little Maplestead
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

- Is VAT in the price?

Why act early in Little Maplestead
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Maplestead can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
