Gutter sealing in Wakes Colne
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 are dealing with water dripping where gutter sections meet and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wakes Colne, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Outside joints around Wakes Colne
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Barnabas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What we are called out for in Wakes Colne
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
Letting a property close to Chappel & Wakes Colne station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wakes Colne
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wakes Colne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Full insurance on every job

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Guttering that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps

Common questions in Wakes Colne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Wakes Colne in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wakes Colne is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.
