Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hell Corner
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and water coming in around window frames, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Hell Corner start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Hell Corner, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Sites and facades in and around Hell Corner
Rainfall across the South East, Hell Corner included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Hell Corner may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
