Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ringshall are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Expansion joint sealing in Ringshall
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant over old, now failing and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Most enquiries from Ringshall start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Ringshall, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done

Questions we’re asked in Ringshall
Do we have to stop operations in Ringshall while the joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Ringshall?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Why act early in Ringshall
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Halls, stores and units around places like Ringshall may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with photographs.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
