Questions we’re asked in Ore

Must a hotel around Ore close while you work?

Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Ore, such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate?

Yes, sites like Ivyhouse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ore. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Is any job too small?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured sealant in Ore

We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. When replacing old joints, the new colour usually has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. Site teams most often ask us about dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, across office fit-out finishes, powder-coated and anodised frames and natural stone and brick. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Places like Ore tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.

What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a job in Ore, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.

  1. We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
  2. We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
  3. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
  4. Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
  5. The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.

Before we start on site

  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Flag any permit to work we will need

Ask for a quote

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Small repairs at different times rarely match, and the patchwork effect grows. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What you get with us

  • Colours confirmed for the specified product
  • Commercial sealant work since 2005
  • Fully insured
  • CHAS accredited

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints sound

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
  • Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
  • Note which sealant colour was used where
  • Check a trial length in real light

If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, undoing the look you paid for.

Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.

Working on commercial sites near Ore

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ore. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ore. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes.

In a retail centre such as Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, 1.6 miles to the south-west of Ore, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. A unit on an estate like Ivyhouse Industrial Estate (0.6 miles north-west of Ore) typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. Sites a few miles apart, such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate and York Road Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.

Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Ore for work on colour-matched joints. We work across 308 places in East Sussex. We also cover Brighton, some 32 miles away.

What affects the price in Ore

To price the job, we consider:

  • Access and working height
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • The size and state of each joint

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

What we need to price the job

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Access details, including height
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
