Questions we are asked in Cammo
Does a coastal location like Cammo affect which sealant is used?
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 is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Cammo usually organised?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. Send details and photographs, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photographs and we will price it, then clear it to your programme.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
About our construction mastic in Cammo
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Cammo, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you have sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Cammo is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

What else we do in Cammo
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Cammo
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. In Cammo, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Advice
Do you need construction mastic in Cammo?
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
On a healthcare site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.3 miles south-east of Cammo, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Cammo can form part of a wider programme.
Construction mastic in Cammo: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Cammo counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Cammo has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors on a campus like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus (2.7 miles south-east of Cammo), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For contractors at a college like Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, which lies south-east of Cammo, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
