Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Farnham Common
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing. Most enquiries from Farnham Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Farnham Common, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Work we carry out in Buckinghamshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Questions about Farnham Common
Is Farnham Common too far out for you?
No. Places such as Farnham Common are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Thames Valley Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

What else we do in Farnham Common
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Farnham Common
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
What we’re called out for in Farnham Common
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Historic houses such as Cliveden (to the west of Farnham Common) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Farnham Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Facade sealing around Farnham Common: points for this area
At about 23 miles from central London, Farnham Common is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Farnham Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
