Gutter Sealing in Maldon
Gutter and fascia joints in Maldon need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Maldon
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’re often asked to deal with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, across roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.
In a town like Maldon, older houses with traditional gutters sit alongside newer estates with uPVC rooflines and rendered walls. All of those joints move, so they need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

Maldon: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Maldon any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Is gutter sealing in Maldon guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris near the joints because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Outside joints around Maldon
Maldon is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Maldon Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. A visit in Maldon needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why act early in Maldon
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
