How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Westwick Row, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Gutter sealing in Westwick Row
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on a garage door frame and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
In a village or hamlet like Westwick Row, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Westwick Row
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Apsley station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

FAQs for Westwick Row
Do older homes in Westwick Row need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Do you cover smaller places like Westwick Row?
Yes, Westwick Row is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. In a small place like Westwick Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Walls and rooflines in Westwick Row
Historic houses like Batchwood Hall (about 3.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Westwick Row has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Westwick Row is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so whole streets can have gutters, trims and wall joints reaching the end of their life together.
Schools such as Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
