Mastic sealing in Ore
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a site in Ore, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Advice
Mastic sealing in Ore
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you’re dealing with complaints coming in block by block and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ore tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Ore, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Ore
Ore is within about 1 mile of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Ore lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
If you are responsible for a building such as Christ Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If your remit includes a building such as Sandown Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you look after a block within reach of Ore station, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Ore, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Ore, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 32 miles from Ore.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in TN35 and TN34 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane or close by, we can quote for mastic joints. Just outside Ore, we also work in 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). Further afield, our area takes in 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. The nearest railway station is Ore station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Hastings Castle (1.5 miles south-west) and Conquest Hospital (2 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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.
What you get with us

Common questions from Ore clients
Is a smaller place like Ore outside your area?
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.
Does your area include sites such as Ivyhouse Industrial Estate, near Ore?
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.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
