Walls and rooflines in Little Tey
Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 4.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Little Tey has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St James, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as Honywood Community Science School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Little Tey is about 6 miles south-east of Halstead, in Essex.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Little Tey
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter joints, garage door frames and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are leaking gutter joints and stop ends and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
Older homes in small places like Little Tey may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common questions in Little Tey
Will you come out to Little Tey?
Yes. Little Tey 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 work for landlords with property near Marks Tey station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The joint will pull apart, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours from start to finish. Somewhere like Little Tey needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Little Tey can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Little Tey and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together.
Why act early in Little Tey
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. In a small place like Little Tey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

uPVC fascias

Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
