How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to West Bergholt is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in West Bergholt
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and soffit joints, and people most often call us about stop ends leaking at the end of a run and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
In a smaller place like West Bergholt, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are generally the first to go.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. In a smaller place like West Bergholt, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Walls and rooflines in West Bergholt
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Colchester station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Will there be a smell?

Will you clear out my gutters?

Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Nearby places to West Bergholt
What else we do in West Bergholt
Do you need gutter sealing in West Bergholt?
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
If you look after a building such as St Helena School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is generally enough.
