What is this?

Following on from yesterday's window repair blip, this is our other flat repair issue that we currently have.

Now the windows should be easy to sort, we know what they're called and what needs done. Dead easy to google. Now this however is causing problems. As you can see, the "stuff" at the edges of the windows is cracking, and like here, in many places is falling away. I assume we'll need a builder but what needs done, is it mortar, rendering, something else? Also I believe there's a cement type and a lime mortar type, which should be used?

If anyone can tell me what this stuff is called, and confirm if it's a builder we'll need (and even better suggest someone in Edinburgh to do it) then that would be great!

The other problem with this that we can forsee is that we're four floors up so it's likely to need expensive scaffolding. Hopefully like the roof, we'll find someone that thinks they can do without!
