Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
How we handle facade sealing in Farley Hill
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Farley Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Farley Hill 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Farley Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Do you need facade sealing in Farley Hill?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
With historic properties like Stratfield Saye House, 3.9 miles south-west of Farley Hill, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farley Hill
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Older rural buildings around Farley Hill move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Public liability insurance in place
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Central London is about 36 miles from Farley Hill. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When a school such as Farley Hill Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Extensions at sites like Wokingham Hospital, 3.9 miles to the north-east of Farley Hill, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
