Facade sealing for Arford sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
About our facade sealing in Arford
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and draughts around frames and panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Arford first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Arford, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Arford as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Facade sealing around Arford: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Arford lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Passfield Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Arford, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For contractors at a school such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Arford is about 6 miles south of Farnham, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Arford is covered. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Arford among them. There’s a separate page for Reading, about 24 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: GU35. Among the streets we cover are Beech Hill Road, Arford Common and Headley Hill Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Headley (1 mile south-west), Headley Down (1 mile east), Lindford (1 mile west), Standford (1 mile south-west) and Wishanger Common (2 miles north).

What’s near Arford
We work on buildings around The Holly Bush Inn and Mill Chase Academy and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Liphook station, roughly 3.6 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (2.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Deadwater Valley and Gibbet Hill.
What we are called out for in Arford
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Hospital estates such as Chase Hospital, 2.3 miles to the south-west of Arford, 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.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Arford are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Questions about Arford
Is Arford off your patch?
No. Places such as Arford are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Arford, such as Passfield Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Passfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Arford. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
