Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Ramsnest Common
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Ramsnest Common lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
For an estate such as Haslemere & District Hospital, which lies west of Ramsnest Common, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Questions about Ramsnest Common
Do we have to stop operations in Ramsnest Common while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Haslemere & District Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you work in Ramsnest Common?
Yes. We take on work across Ramsnest Common.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Ramsnest Common?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In and around Ramsnest Common, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
