Window & door mastic in Baberton, Edinburgh
Our applicators work in Baberton on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Window mastic in Baberton, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Baberton, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Baberton
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a tenement flat in Baberton, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.

Window mastic in Baberton: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
Rented homes near Wester Hailes station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Questions from Baberton
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Baberton get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you do window mastic in Baberton?
Yes, Baberton is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
When to call us in Baberton
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Wester Hailes Baptist Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
