A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
About our gutter sealing in West Mersea
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you have open joints in fascias and soffits and drips from gutter joints and end caps, we can help.
Houses in smaller places like West Mersea can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Mersea and across Essex.

What else we do in West Mersea
West Mersea buildings and the weather
West Mersea is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Mersea Island School, 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 Peter and St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A gutter length that has split
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Blocked downpipes
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Roofline trims
How we quote for gutter sealing

- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
