Expansion joint sealing for Ranmore Common sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ranmore Common
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Older rural buildings around Ranmore Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- One number for every site we cover
- A fixed quote before work starts

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around Ranmore Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Ranmore Common: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Ranmore Common outside your area?
No. Places such as Ranmore Common are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Chapel Lane Industrial Estate, near Ranmore Common, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ranmore Common, Chapel Lane Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What exactly is a movement joint?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Ranmore Common can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Surrey.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
