How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Gutter sealing in Ridgewell
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. We work on gutter joints, roofline trims and soffit joints, and common reasons people get in touch are earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
Older homes in small places like Ridgewell may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Ridgewell
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ridgewell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. In a small place like Ridgewell, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Walls and rooflines in Ridgewell
With historic houses such as Hedingham Castle (about 4.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ridgewell as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common problems we fix in Ridgewell
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Schools such as Ridgewell Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What else we do in Ridgewell
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
