About our gutter sealing in Marshalswick
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have water running down the wall below the gutter and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints alike.
Homes around Marshalswick range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Marshalswick
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mary's, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

FAQs for Marshalswick
Will you come out to Marshalswick?
Yes. Marshalswick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near St Albans station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Why act early in Marshalswick
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed 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. Homes in smaller places like Marshalswick can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Walls and rooflines in Marshalswick
With historic houses such as Batchwood Hall (about 2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marshalswick as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as St John Fisher Roman Catholic Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near St Albans station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
