Your questions about gutter sealing in Turnpike Lane
Is parking a problem for a job in Turnpike Lane?
Parking in Turnpike Lane, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hornsey station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long does gutter sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Gutter sealing in Turnpike Lane, done properly
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you are dealing with water dripping where gutter sections meet and dripping gutter ends, we can help, whatever the surface.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. In a converted house in Turnpike Lane, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Turnpike Lane and across Greater London.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Blocked downpipes
- Problems with the roof covering
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Turnpike Lane
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is normally enough.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Turnpike Lane.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and the area is left clean. In Turnpike Lane, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Turnpike Lane buildings and the weather
In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts. Historic houses like Bruce Castle (about 1.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Turnpike Lane has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like North Harringay Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox), an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you let a flat or house near Hornsey station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
