What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
About our gutter sealing in Shalmsford Street
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Common call-outs are for rain getting in around a garage door and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints.
In a smaller place like Shalmsford Street, some homes face open ground, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. A visit to Shalmsford Street is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Walls and rooflines in Shalmsford Street
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.
Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Chartham Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Common problems we fix in Shalmsford Street
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
