- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pingewood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Signs you need gutter sealing in Pingewood
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For landlords with property near Reading Green Park station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Pingewood buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 4.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Pingewood has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Managing a site like The WREN School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Mapledurham House, about 4.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pingewood, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

FAQs for Pingewood
I let a flat near Reading Green Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Pingewood for gutter sealing?
Yes, Pingewood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Pingewood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
