- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Dripping gutter ends
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Gutter sealing in Wickford
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Common call-outs are for quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on roofline trims, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.
Wickford mixes older houses and their gutters with newer estates of brick, render and uPVC trims. All of those joints move, so they need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Walls and rooflines in Wickford
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Andrew 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 Wickford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wickford and across Essex. Several sites can be quoted together.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job.

- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.

Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Wickford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We will confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Usually, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What we’re called out for in Wickford
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Schools such as Oakfield Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Wickford they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
