Covered on our Kent run with Chatham. Batched, so early notice gets a better slot.
Overview
Ramsgate has a large royal harbour marina and a working port on a very exposed corner of Kent, sticking out into the North Sea with weather coming from three directions.
Covers here get specified up. It is not a sheltered berth and it does not behave like one.
Local focus
Marine, on one of the more exposed marinas we cover. Ramsgate takes weather off the North Sea with very little shelter, so film gauge, frame spacing and base skirt detailing all get more attention than they would on the Solent. The port side brings occasional industrial and transport work — plant and freight standing on the quay, where salt air is doing damage from day one.

Getting to you
Covered on our Kent run with Chatham. Batched, so early notice gets a better slot.
We cover CT11, CT12 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across Ramsgate Royal Harbour Marina, the Port of Ramsgate, Sandwich and Broadstairs. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Ramsgate job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.
Ramsgate · CT11
Illustrative figures. Your Ramsgate survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Ramsgate work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Ramsgate rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Ramsgate enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Ramsgate job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the Ramsgate postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Ramsgate is part of our regular coverage and boat shrink wrapping is the work we do most of there. Covered on our Kent run with Chatham. Batched, so early notice gets a better slot.
There is no Ramsgate rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
The opposite — exposure is exactly the argument for it. A sheet will not last a Ramsgate winter. A framed, welded, heavier-gauge cover will, provided it is specified for the conditions rather than to a price.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Marine shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Ramsgate, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
