Windows and doors in Hoppers Corner
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 4.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hoppers Corner as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near East Farleigh station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Barming Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Hoppers Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Hoppers Corner
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
