About our window mastic in Cameron Toll
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We are often asked to deal with rushed sealant from a window installation and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Cameron Toll, access is the first thing to plan.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Windows and doors in Cameron Toll
Cameron Toll is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
For an older house near a landmark such as Craigmillar Park Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like St Margaret's School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Cameron Toll is about 2 miles south-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Cameron Toll gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, Cameron Toll among them.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Cameron Toll can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a city area like Cameron Toll, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
When to call us in Cameron Toll
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Your questions about window mastic in Cameron Toll
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Cameron Toll?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
