Facade sealing in Ore, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ore from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Building work in places the size of Ore is typically small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Mastic packages on Ore sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ore counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, 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. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
When units on a site such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles north-west of Ore, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as Conquest Hospital (2 miles north-west of Ore), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Sandown Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Ore for work on facade joints. Across East Sussex, 308 places are covered, Ore among them. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 32 miles from Ore.
We take on facade joints across the TN35 and TN34 postcode area. Among the streets we cover are Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane. We also cover Bachelor's Bump (1 mile north-east), Guestling (2 miles north-east), Fairlight (2 miles east), Friar's Hill (2 miles north-east) and Guestling Green (2 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover Eastbourne (15 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), St Leonards (3 miles south-west), Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west) and Langney (14 miles west).
Local landmarks in Ore
Around Ore, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Speckled Wood, Hastings Academy and Roman Catholic Church of St Mary Star of the Sea, among other places. The nearest railway station is Ore station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Hastings Castle (1.5 miles south-west) and Conquest Hospital (2 miles north-west). The countryside around Ore includes Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Ore. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Questions we’re asked in Ore
Is Ore too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Ore is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Ore affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work in places the size of Ore is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
