What the job involves on each surface

Soffit joints

We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit.

Roofline trims

We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowhedge

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Rowhedge buildings and the weather

Rowhedge is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Rented homes near Wivenhoe station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Do you need gutter sealing in Rowhedge?

Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Water running down the wall below the gutter
  • Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
  • Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
  • Drips from gutter joints and end caps

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What your quote should include

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What insurance they hold
  • The length of the guarantee

Our hiring checklist

Rowhedge: your questions answered

I let a flat near Wivenhoe station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Rowhedge any different?

Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.

What guarantee comes with the job?

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?

Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last, and we will tell you.

Do you replace gutters or fascias?

We don’t replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you so you can call the right trade.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Will you clear out my gutters?

Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.

Is sealing fascia joints something you do?

Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.

What affects the quote in Rowhedge

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Working hours on commercial sites

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • If someone has resealed it before

When something else is needed

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
  • Blocked downpipes
  • Brackets that have snapped or loosened

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Garage door frames
  • Roofline trims
  • Gutter joints
  • Gutter end caps
  • Soffit joints
  • uPVC fascias

What we do, step by step

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Rowhedge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
  2. We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
  3. The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
