Window mastic in Cammo, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Cammo, access is the first thing to plan.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a city area like Cammo, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Cammo
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
What window mastic looks like in Cammo
Cammo is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Caroline Park (about 3.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cammo as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Caroline Park, about 3.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cammo. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why act early in Cammo
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.

Common questions in Cammo
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Cammo generally arranged?
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 don’t.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Cammo?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need window mastic in Cammo?
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
