Gutter sealing in Polstead
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Typical jobs include drips from gutter joints and end caps and rain getting in around a garage door, on garage door frames, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Polstead, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- A gutter length that has split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- Gutter end caps
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Watch for drips in a downpour
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Polstead
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why act early in Polstead
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. Around Polstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Every job guaranteed for a year
