About our gutter sealing in Ridley
Across Ridley, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and trim joints where the sealant has failed, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and gutter joints.
In a village or hamlet like Ridley, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Ridley: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Meopham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ridley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ridley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as Ridley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What gutter sealing looks like in Ridley
With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ridley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of Saint Peter include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meopham School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Meopham station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- A gutter length that has split
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Blocked downpipes

Why act early in Ridley
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a small place like Ridley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
