Gutter sealing in The Green
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are water dripping where gutter sections meet and internal damp traced to a gutter joint.
In a village or hamlet like The Green, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Walls and rooflines in The Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, 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 Cressing Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around St Barnabas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
The Green is about 3 miles south of Braintree, in Essex. Jobs in The Green get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

Nearby you will also find William Julien Courtauld Hospital (2.4 miles north-west) and Cressing Temple (1.7 miles east). Open spaces near The Green include Sandylay and Moat Woods.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What else we do in The Green
Landlord and commercial work in The Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like The Green needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of 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.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Signs you need gutter sealing in The Green
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Rented homes near Cressing station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

The Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like The Green?
Yes. The Green 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.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How much does gutter sealing cost in The Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you fit new guttering?
No, we reseal joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we will say so.
What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
