Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Gutter sealing in Staines Green
Across Staines Green, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on roofline trims, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about water running down the wall below the gutter and failed sealant on a garage door frame.
Older homes in small places like Staines Green may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Outside joints around Staines Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Digswell House (about 4.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Staines Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Hertford North station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a village or hamlet like Staines Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. In a small place like Staines Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Staines Green: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Staines Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Staines Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Staines Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Common problems we fix in Staines Green
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Homes close to Church of St Mary and St John include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
