Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and damp patches beside frames after rain. For commercial sealant work in The Sands, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

New build and refits around The Sands
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from The Sands. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The Sands lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hospital estates such as Farnham Community Hospital (to the west of The Sands) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. University estates such as University for the Creative Arts, 2.9 miles west of The Sands, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
The Sands is about 2 miles east of Farnham, in Surrey. Commercial clients in The Sands can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of Surrey. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including The Sands. Reading is covered too, some 19 miles away.

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like The Sands are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Advice
FAQs: The Sands
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Farnham Community Hospital, something you do?
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.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Common problems we fix in The Sands
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For contractors refurbishing units at places like The Sands Business Centre, less than half a mile to the north-west of The Sands, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
