Facade sealing in Farningham
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Farningham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like Farningham, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Facade sealing around Farningham: how the place shapes the job
At about 16 miles from central London, Farningham is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Farningham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Building work at universities like University of Greenwich (4.7 miles north-east of Farningham) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Southern Cross Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north-west of Farningham, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Farningham is about 5 miles south of Dartford, in Kent. Commercial clients in Farningham use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Farningham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 16 miles from Farningham.

Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Southern Cross Industrial Estate, close to Farningham?
Yes. We cover Farningham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Southern Cross Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Farningham are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. Older rural buildings around Farningham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colour agreed before work starts
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Fully insured

Commercial clients in Farningham
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Signs you need facade sealing in Farningham
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Extensions at sites like Darenth Park Hospital, 4.2 miles north of Farningham, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
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, not the framing or glazing itself.
