How we handle construction mastic in Palmarsh
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Palmarsh tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Building work in places the size of Palmarsh is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Mastic packages on Palmarsh sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Palmarsh. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital (5.6 miles east of Palmarsh), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. With historic properties like Westenhanger Castle, 2.3 miles to the north of Palmarsh, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Palmarsh Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Common questions from Palmarsh clients
Is a smaller place like Palmarsh outside your area?
Not at all. Palmarsh is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can being near the sea in Palmarsh affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- 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 will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that. If that happens, let us know.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
