About our new build mastic in Ore
Across Ore, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and internal frame sealant that has split, across show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Homes around Ore range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Ore
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Ore is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
What we are called out for in Ore
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Ore, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
Why act early in Ore
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Homes in smaller places like Ore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ore
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We’re fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Questions from Ore
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ore station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Ore within the area you cover?
Yes, Ore is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

New build mastic in Ore: local notes
Ore is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Ore station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
