Nup End Green: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Lister Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Arlington Business Park, by Nup End Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Nup End Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Arlington Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.

If you’re dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Nup End Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Nup End Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.

- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nup End Green are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we will tell you honestly. For buildings around smaller places like Nup End Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

- A fixed quote before work starts
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
