About our gutter sealing in Staple Tye
Across Staple Tye, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant along roofline trims and rain getting in around a garage door, on gutter end caps, soffit joints and gutter joints.
In a smaller place like Staple Tye, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a smaller place like Staple Tye, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Gutter sealing in Staple Tye: local notes
Staple Tye is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Stewards Academy - Science Specialist are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Harlow Town station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near St James with St Luke, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Common questions in Staple Tye
Should the sealant in an older Staple Tye home be renewed?
Generally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harlow Town station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you cover Staple Tye?
We do. Staple Tye is part of the area we cover.
Will you clear out my gutters?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and clear debris we find nearby. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
