From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. 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. For work around Palm Bay, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
How we handle facade sealing in Palm Bay
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Palm Bay is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Palm Bay, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

New build and refits around Palm Bay
With the shore within about 1 mile, Palm Bay 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, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Palm Bay. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
New units and refits on sites such as College Square Shopping Centre (to the west of Palm Bay) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a college such as TOPS Vocational College (1 mile south-west of Palm Bay) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
Palm Bay is about 1 mile north-east of Margate, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Palm Bay. Palm Bay is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our London page (65 miles or so).

Do you need facade sealing in Palm Bay?
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Walpole Bay Hotel, which lies west of Palm Bay, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions from Palm Bay clients
Can work at a site such as TOPS Vocational College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does the sea air around Palm Bay change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
