Shephall Gutter Sealing
We cover Shephall for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Gutter sealing in Shephall, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. Common call-outs are for water dripping where gutter sections meet and water running down the wall below the gutter, on garage door frames, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Houses in smaller places like Shephall can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are generally the first to go.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and the area is left clean. Parking around Shephall is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Shephall questions
Do older homes in Shephall need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stevenage station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Leave it or put it right?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. Homes in smaller places like Shephall can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Shephall buildings and the weather
Shephall is part of Stevenage, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades and were built in phases, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peartree Spring Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
