Signs you need facade sealing in Park Farm
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
School extensions, at buildings such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Park Farm
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you have discoloured or dirty facade joints and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Park Farm, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Park Farm, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Park Farm need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Quoting for work in Park Farm
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Doing it in-house
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Questions about Park Farm
Is Park Farm too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The One Ashford Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
New build and refits around Park Farm
Park Farm sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Park Farm has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Older buildings in the area around Park Farm, such as Godinton House, 3.1 miles north-west of Park Farm, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New units and refits on sites such as Ellingham Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles north-west of Park Farm, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
