How the job changes by surface

A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
About our mastic sealing in Ram Lane
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are no planned programme for sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ram Lane it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Ram Lane tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions we are asked in Ram Lane
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Charing station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is a smaller place like Ram Lane outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of 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.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Ram Lane, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Planned mastic for Ram Lane portfolios
Rainfall across the South East, Ram Lane included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. Ram Lane lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For owners of several units at places like Eurogate Business Park, 2.9 miles south-east of Ram Lane, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as The Hayesbrook School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Historic properties like Godinton House, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Ram Lane, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Ram Lane is about 4 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Ram Lane is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Ram Lane is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 45 miles from Ram Lane.

What affects the price in Ram Lane
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
