DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Gutter sealing in Little Wymondley
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with open joints in fascias and soffits and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Little Wymondley is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Walls and rooflines in Little Wymondley
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. With historic houses such as Knebworth House (about 4.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Wymondley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Hitchin station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Little Wymondley: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Little Wymondley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Wymondley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Little Wymondley?
Yes. Little Wymondley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Little Wymondley, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Wymondley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What we are called out for in Little Wymondley
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Dripping gutter ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Managing a site like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Little Wymondley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
