Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Cammachmore outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Portlethen Retail Park, near Cammachmore?
Yes, sites like Portlethen Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Cammachmore. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Mastic sealing in Cammachmore, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and a mix of products and colours from past repairs.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Common problems we fix in Cammachmore
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Property owners at sites such as Portlethen Retail Park (1.6 miles north-east of Cammachmore) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Why it’s worth doing now in Cammachmore
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Planned mastic for Cammachmore portfolios
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Cammachmore. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Cammachmore is, gets less rain than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Schools and community buildings such as Portlethen Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Portlethen station, 1.7 miles north-east of Cammachmore, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
