How we handle facade sealing in Hoppers Corner
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and previous reseals run over old sealant. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hoppers Corner first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Hoppers 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Facade sealing in Hoppers Corner: the local picture
Hoppers Corner is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Hoppers Corner is about 29 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a college like MidKent College Maidstone Campus (1.7 miles north-east of Hoppers Corner), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For contractors on a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, which lies north-east of Hoppers Corner, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Hospital estates such as Maidstone Hospital (to the north-east of Hoppers Corner) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Hoppers Corner is about 3 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Hoppers Corner, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Hoppers Corner is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. Sites around London have their own page, about 29 miles away.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be 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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
