About our gutter sealing in The Willows
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We are often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and open joints in fascias and soffits, across gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints.
Older homes in small places like The Willows may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. Around The Willows, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we are called out for in The Willows
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Dripping gutter ends
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Letting a property close to Stansted Mountfitchet station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Walls and rooflines in The Willows
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Furneux Pelham Church of England School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in The Willows
Do you cover smaller places like The Willows?
Yes, The Willows is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover The Willows for gutter sealing?
Yes, The Willows is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we’ll say so.
What does gutter sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
