Hicks Forstal questions
Will you come out to Hicks Forstal?
Yes, Hicks Forstal is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Hicks Forstal?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How we handle gutter sealing in Hicks Forstal
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. Typical jobs include quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and water running down the wall below the gutter, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Hicks Forstal, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Hicks Forstal can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep downpipes clear
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Outside joints around Hicks Forstal
Hicks Forstal is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Sturry station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Spires Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
