- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
Gutter sealing in Little Wakering, done properly
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on uPVC fascias, roofline trims and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about failed sealant on a garage door frame and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Older homes in small places like Little Wakering 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Little Wakering
Do you work for landlords with property near Thorpe Bay station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Little Wakering any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we will confirm what access is needed once we know more.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why deal with it now?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Wakering can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Outside joints around Little Wakering
Little Wakering is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Southchurch Hall (about 3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Wakering as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Managing a site like Great Wakering Primary Academy? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Thorpe Bay station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

What we are called out for in Little Wakering
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Dripping gutter ends
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. A neat bead closes them up.
