Gutter sealing in Ridge, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you’re dealing with internal damp traced to a gutter joint and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ridge, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Ridge
Is Ridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Ridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Potters Bar station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Outside joints around Ridge
With historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (about 2.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ridge 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like St Giles' CofE Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Potters Bar station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What we are called out for in Ridge
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Fascias that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
