About our gutter sealing in Thorley Street
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and failed sealant on a garage door frame, on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames.
Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Common problems we fix in Thorley Street
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Homes close to Parish Church of St James the Great include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Around Thorley Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Thorley Street buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Much Hadham Palace (about 3.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Thorley Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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 Thorley Hill Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bishops Stortford station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
