Facade sealing near Garlinge
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Do you need facade sealing in Garlinge?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When units on a site such as All Saints Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Garlinge, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with

Facades, frames and programmes in Garlinge
With the shore within about 1 mile, Garlinge counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Garlinge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Hussar Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Garlinge), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When a college such as TOPS Vocational College (to the east of Garlinge) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

FAQs: Garlinge
Can you work at a site such as All Saints Industrial Estate, by Garlinge?
Yes. We cover Garlinge and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as All Saints Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Garlinge outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it.

- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
