Gutter sealing in Whempstead
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints, and people most often call us about gaps along fascia and soffit joints and garage door frames letting rain in.
Older homes in small places like Whempstead may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Whempstead
Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Around Whempstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What gutter sealing looks like in Whempstead
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. Historic houses like Aston Bury (about 2.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Whempstead has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Watton-At-Stone station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Whempstead, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
