Permagard Marine Services

Permagard is a reactive polymer treatment that can be applied to both new and used boats, replacing traditional Wax, Teflon or Silicon based products.  Permagard has been developed to protect the exterior surfaces against oxidisation, discolouring, damage from bird fowling and other pollutants while providing a perfect finish that is easy to maintain.

We eliminate swirl marks completely, remove a very high percentage of micro scratches and can restore very oxidised surfaces.  With our system, we actually building depth to the surface by filling the scratches with polymer and with continued maintenance oxidation can be eliminated entirely as Permagard is NOT like traditional cutting and polishing.

It is not possible to purchase our products for DIY application, we supply a complete service using fully trained operatives, superstructures can be treated while the craft is afloat, and to complete a treatment to a hull the boat ideally needs to be on hard standing.

About the Treatments

Treatments can be completed by one of our mobile teams in your marina either when the boat is in the water (superstructures only) or on the hard standing during annual re-fit.  Smaller craft on trailer’s can be treated at your parking facility or in our London docklands outlet.

 The Hull: The treatment is from the gunnels to the water line all surfaces are de-oxidised and repaired as necessary prior to the application of the reactive polymer.  As a guideline, a 25’’ hull will take a two man team one and half days to complete.

 The Superstructures: The treatment is completed on all smooth areas and includes all cockpit or fly bridge areas.  All cockpit hatches shuts are completed along with any drain areas.  When completing a superstructure treatment we also clean all anti-slip surfaces, dashboards and instruments.

 Plexiglas: We can treat Plexiglas with the reactive polymer in the same way as the hull and the superstructure, as the polymer actually repairs the scratches in the surface and is completely clear it improves visibility and increases resistance to future scratching.

 Glass Treatment: All exterior glass is cleaned using a marine grade burnishing gel and then the cross-linked polymer water repellent is added by hand.  Once treated water will pearl on the glass.

 Teak Treatment: The teak protector is specially formulated for teak decks, a copolymer treatment and rejuvenates the original look, feel and texture on the wood.  Before the application of teak protector, the surfaces have to be restored back to new, clear of oils and dust before the application process can be made.

 Canvas Treatment: The canvas or fabric protector is specially formulated copolymer treatment.  The canvas or fabric is thoroughly cleaned and then treated with protector.  This will not allow dirt and general grime to ingrain into the surface and makes future cleaning much easier extending the life of the material.

Maintenance

With Permagard once the vessel has been treated all you need to do is wash it as and when desired with either a PHP friendly gel coat cleaner or clean water to maintain the deep gloss finish.  There is no need to cut, polish or wax it ever again.

We recommend that you wash the vessel using a sponge or soft brush in very good condition and then dry the vessel using a squeegee blade and microfibre drying cloth for the best results.

We recommend and annual service treatment, which is 50% of the rateable price.  By completing this annual service any light marks or scratches that have developed from washing or drying are removed and it also extends guarantee against oxidisation and loss of shine for an additional 12 months.
