Why Choose WOW Gutters Ltd for Gutter Cleaning
A gutter leaking at the joint needs resealing or replacement. WOW Gutters Ltd fixes leaking gutter joints across Birmingham — sealant, rubber seals, or full joint replacement. Call 07421 433910.
A leaking gutter joint allows water to escape from the gutter channel and run down the fascia board behind it. If left unaddressed, the repeated moisture softens the timber fascia, causes staining on walls, and can lead to internal damp. The fix depends on what type of joint is failing.

What to Do When a Gutter Joint Leaks
A leaking gutter joint allows water to escape from the gutter channel and run down the fascia board behind it. If left unaddressed, the repeated moisture softens the timber fascia, causes staining on walls, and can lead to internal damp. The fix depends on what type of joint is failing.
- Rubber seal failure — the gasket inside the joint has perished and needs replacing
- Sealant failure — the mastic bead between sections has cracked or detached
- Joint separation — the two sections have pulled apart from thermal movement or bracket shift
- Corner joint leak — the corner piece has cracked or the seal has failed
- Stop end leak — the cap at the end of a run has come loose or the seal has failed
- Overflow joint — the outlet where the gutter meets the downpipe is not sealed correctly
Can I Fix a Leaking Gutter Joint Myself?
Some leaking joints can be fixed with DIY sealant, but the repair will not last as long as a professional job. Professional resealing uses the correct sealant for the gutter material and is applied to clean, dry surfaces.
- DIY sealant works as a temporary fix but may fail within months
- Professional resealing uses gutter-specific sealant rated for outdoor use
- The joint must be completely dry for sealant to bond properly
- If the rubber seal has perished, the joint piece needs replacement
- A professional repair includes testing the joint with a water flow check
- WOW Gutters Ltd can repair most leaking joints during the same visit as a gutter clean

FAQs — Gutter Leaking at Joint — What to Do
Can't find your answer? Call 07421 433910.
Why is my gutter leaking at the joint?
Gutter joints leak because the rubber seal has perished, the sealant has cracked from weather exposure, or the joint has physically separated due to thermal expansion, bracket movement, or debris weight.
Can a leaking gutter joint be resealed?
Yes — most leaking joints can be resealed. The joint is cleaned, dried, and fresh outdoor-grade sealant is applied. If the rubber gasket has failed, the joint piece may need replacement.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking gutter joint?
Joint resealing typically costs from £30 per joint. Joint replacement costs more if the piece is damaged. WOW Gutters Ltd provides a fixed quote after inspection.
Will a leaking gutter joint cause damp?
Yes — water escaping from a leaking joint runs down the fascia board behind the gutter. Over time, this saturates the fascia timber and can travel through to internal walls.
How long does gutter joint sealant last?
Professional-grade gutter sealant typically lasts 5–10 years depending on weather exposure and the gutter material. UPVC joints usually last longer than cast iron ones.
