How we handle coloured sealant in Cammo
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you’re dealing with coloured joints that have cracked with movement and a run of joints in mismatched shades, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Cammo tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Cammo as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining and deal with problems early.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.
Common questions from Cammo clients
Our building in Cammo is near the coast: does that change the 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.
Will our hotel in Cammo need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, rated for the joint’s movement.
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. We will tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Cammo
Cammo is within about 2 miles of the coast. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Cammo has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
Sites a few miles apart, such as West Craigs Industrial Estate and Gyle Shopping Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact. Shops and cafés around stations like Edinburgh Gateway station (1.3 miles south of Cammo) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Cammo is about 4 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Anywhere in EH4, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh.
If you need coloured sealant in EH4, EH12 and EH30, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Cammo Road, Pinetum Lane and Braehead Road. Just outside Cammo, we also work in Barnton (1 mile north-east), Braepark (1 mile north-east), Bughtlin (1 mile south-east), Lennie (1 mile west) and Cramond (1 mile north-east). Further afield, our area takes in Edinburgh (4 miles east), Leith (6 miles east), Bonnington (5 miles east), Greenside (5 miles east), Broughton (5 miles east) and Bellevue (5 miles east).
Local landmarks in Cammo
For rail, the closest station is Edinburgh Gateway station, about 1.3 miles south. A little further out are Corstorphine Hospital (2.1 miles south-east) and The Gyle Shopping Centre (1.5 miles south). Not far away are The New Leaf Co-op and Dundas Loch.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors, and we clear our waste as we work. City jobs in Cammo typically need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Cammo
A coloured joint can fail like any other: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
Refits at hotels like Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield, 1.5 miles to the east of Cammo, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
