FAQs: Far Thorpe Green
Can being near the sea in Far Thorpe Green affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Rice Bridge Industrial Estate, near Far Thorpe Green, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Far Thorpe Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Rice Bridge Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you cover Far Thorpe Green?
Yes. Far Thorpe Green falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

What else we do in Far Thorpe Green
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

Why act early in Far Thorpe Green
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. For buildings around smaller places like Far Thorpe Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
