Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Puddledock, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Puddledock needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Puddledock
Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 2.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Puddledock 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Swanley 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 Hextable Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around St Peter, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why deal with it now?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Puddledock, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What affects the quote in Puddledock
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
