Rivenhall buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Witham station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Managing a site like Rivenhall Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How we handle gutter sealing in Rivenhall
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and end caps that drip every time it rains, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and garage door frames alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Rivenhall is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Rivenhall needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit

Why it’s worth doing now in Rivenhall
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rivenhall can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
