Harley Facades
Harley Facades is a British construction company that designs and installs external cladding on buildings.
Ray Bailey, the owner and managing director, founded the first Harley business in 1996, operating from home and "offering a limited range of aluminium windows and curtain wall products".[1]
In 2002, Harley obtained its first major cladding contract, with Wates Construction to over-clad four 11-storey tower blocks in Croydon, which led it to establish a specialist cladding division focused on local authority and housing association blocks in London and the south-east.[1] The company moved to purpose built office in December 2013 - Harley House, Brooklands Park, Farningham Road, Crowborough, East Sussex.[1][2]
Although Rydon was the main contractor responsible for the 2015-2016 refurbishment of the Chalcots Estate and Grenfell Tower (destroyed by fire in June 2017), it sub-contracted the "design and installation of the external cladding" to Harley Facades.[3]
