External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Terling is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common questions in Terling
Is Terling within the area you cover?
Yes. Terling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Terling, 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.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
Outside joints around Terling
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as United Reformed Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.

What else we do in Terling
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- A gutter length that has split
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
Common problems we fix in Terling
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Letting a property close to Hatfield Peverel station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
