Questions we’re asked in Kettle Corner
Is Tovil Green Business Park, near Kettle Corner, within your area?
Yes, sites like Tovil Green Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Kettle Corner. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Maidstone Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle facade sealing in Kettle Corner
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Kettle Corner, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Kettle Corner bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Facade sealing in Kettle Corner: the local picture
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Kettle Corner. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Kettle Corner is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as Maidstone Hospital, 1.5 miles north-east of Kettle Corner, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors on a campus like University for the Creative Arts - Maidstone, which lies north-east of Kettle Corner, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Do you need facade sealing in Kettle Corner?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
When units on a site such as Tovil Green Business Park (to the east of Kettle Corner) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
