Gutter sealing in Shillington, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for rain getting in around a garage door and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
In a village or hamlet like Shillington, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it’s left?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shillington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What gutter sealing looks like in Shillington

FAQs for Shillington
Is Shillington within the area you cover?
Yes, Shillington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Arlesey station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Common problems we fix in Shillington
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
