Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used

Facade sealing in Ranmore Common
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Ranmore Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Ranmore Common can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.

Mastic packages on Ranmore Common sites
Rainfall across the South East, Ranmore Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. A 2-mile radius around Ranmore Common takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Denbies Vineyard Hotel (1.4 miles east of Ranmore Common), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New units and refits on sites such as Chapel Lane Industrial Estate, 1 mile south of Ranmore Common, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Ranmore Common is about 2 miles north-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH5, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places. For work in that direction, see our London page (21 miles or so).

Ranmore Common: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Ranmore Common outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Would you work within a site like Dorking Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ranmore Common are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
