Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Manuden
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you are dealing with drips from gutter joints and end caps and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and roofline trims alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Manuden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Manuden questions
Can you do gutter sealing in Manuden?
Yes, Manuden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Manuden?
Yes, Manuden is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
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.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Manuden buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Manuden Primary School 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 Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

When to call us in Manuden
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Mountfitchet station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Manuden
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In a small place like Manuden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
