Gutter sealing in Stanborough
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. Typical jobs include open joints in fascias and soffits and old gutter sealant that has let go, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps.
Around Stanborough, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanborough
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. If boards are damaged, we’ll tell you.
What gutter sealing looks like in Stanborough
Historic houses like Hatfield House (about 2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Stanborough has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Stanborough is part of Hatfield, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so whole streets can have gutters, trims and wall joints reaching the end of their life together.
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Stanborough School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Welwyn Garden City station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Stanborough: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Welwyn Garden City station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Should the sealant in an older Stanborough home be renewed?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s normally worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stanborough can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Stanborough, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
