Gutter sealing in Long Green
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant along roofline trims and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, across gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Long Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

FAQs for Long Green
I let a flat near Braintree Freeport station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Long Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a village or hamlet like Long Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. They’re sealed to tidy the line.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
