Contractors’ notes for Camore
With the shore within about 1 mile, Camore 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. Camore is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Work at a hotel such as The Eagle Hotel (1.1 miles east of Camore) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. School extensions, at buildings such as Dornoch Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Camore is about 22 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Any commercial site in Camore is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 256 places in Highland, from busy centres to rural villages.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout IV25, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on Camore Crescent and Camore Gardens are within our area. If your building is just outside Camore, we cover Dornoch (1 mile east), Hilton (2 miles north-east), Skelbo Muir (3 miles north), Embo (3 miles north-east) and Littleferry (4 miles north-east). Further afield, our area takes in Tain (5 miles south), Alness (15 miles south-west), Invergordon (14 miles south), Golspie (7 miles north-east), Brora (12 miles north-east) and Cromarty (14 miles south). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

How we handle facade sealing in Camore
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Camore tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Camore that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Camore
Quoting for work in Camore
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Share access with other external trades
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Questions about Camore
Does a coastal location like Camore affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Camore outside your area?
No. Places such as Camore are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Camore. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.

- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Related advice
Why act early in Camore
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Camore before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
