Mastic packages on Ore sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ore counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. At about 53 miles from central London, Ore is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When units on a site such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Ore) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. When a school such as Sandown Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital, 2 miles north-west of Ore, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN35, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

About our construction mastic in Ore
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Site teams most often ask us about snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Ore, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions around smaller places like Ore often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Ore need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Common questions from Ore clients
Is Ore too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ore are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Conquest Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

What else we do in Ore
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
