Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Homes close to St Francis include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

Common problems we fix in West Horndon
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
Look out for these signs:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
Rented homes near West Horndon station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee

- When the joint can take water or movement

Why act early in West Horndon
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Horndon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
