Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Upper Basildon
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. If you’re dealing with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and rain getting in around a garage door, we can help.
Around Upper Basildon, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Basildon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Upper Basildon buildings and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 1.4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Basildon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Stephen's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Basildon C.E. Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Pangbourne station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Problems with the roof covering
- Blocked downpipes

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
