Gutter sealing in Old Ford
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on roofline trims, gutter end caps and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping where gutter sections meet and open joints in fascias and soffits.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. For a flat in Old Ford, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Do you need gutter sealing in Old Ford?
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Dripping gutter ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Letting a property close to Hackney Wick station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What else we do in Old Ford
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Fascias that need replacing
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

How we quote for gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
If you are in Old Ford and need gutter sealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Old Ford buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Sutton House (about 1.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Old Ford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul Old Ford, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mulberry UTC, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Old Ford
Is Old Ford in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Old Ford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Old Ford?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the size of the job. In Old Ford, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Ford
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Old Ford, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
