Pested questions
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Pested?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Pested
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. We’re often asked to deal with dripping gutter ends and old gutter sealant that has let go, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
Older homes in small places like Pested may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Pested buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pested as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Challock Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What affects the quote in Pested
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Pested
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
