Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in London Docklands

A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We are often asked to deal with failed sealant on a garage door frame and open joints in fascias and soffits, across uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter end caps.

Modern London flats rely on sealed movement joints and cladding joints. Older terraces have their own weak points: gutter joints, roofline trims and the joint where an extension meets the original wall.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Leave it or put it right?

Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in London Docklands, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When to call us in London Docklands

When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.

Look out for these signs:

  • Garage door frames letting rain in
  • Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
  • End caps that drip every time it rains
  • Old gutter sealant that has let go

As a London address, London Docklands can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try it myself first?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the gutters clear of debris
  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Look along the fascias for open joints
  • Sort out a dripping joint early

Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.

A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

Is parking a problem for a job in London Docklands?

It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

What sealant do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

Is there any odour?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.

How long does gutter sealing take?

Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

What gutter sealing looks like in London Docklands

Historic houses like Queen's House (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around London Docklands has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Schools such as Tower Hamlets College are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
