About our window mastic in Cramond
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall, across window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Cramond is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Cramond
Does the coastal weather in Cramond affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Cramond, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Quotes for window mastic in Cramond
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a place like Cramond, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Cramond
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Historic houses such as Caroline Park, about 2.6 miles north-east, show how far back building around Cramond goes.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
Frames and glazing around Cramond
Cramond is close to 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. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 2.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Cramond has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Craigmount High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Local landmarks in Cramond

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
