What is caulking?

Caulking is the process of sealing gaps, joints, and cracks in buildings using flexible sealants. Professional caulking helps protect against water damage, mould, drafts, dust, and movement between materials while creating a clean, finished appearance.

Why is caulking importrant?

Quality caulking improves the appearance, durability, and weather resistance of your property. Properly sealed joints help prevent:

  • Water leaks

  • Cracking

  • Mould growth

  • Heat loss and drafts

  • Pest and dust entry

It also gives bathrooms, kitchens, windows, flooring, and exterior finishes a neat professional look.

Exterior caulking may require more frequent maintenance due to UV exposure and weather conditions.

Do you remove old silicone and caulk?

Yes. We remove old, cracked, mouldy, or damaged silicone and caulking before applying new sealant to ensure a clean and long-lasting finish.

Drying and curing times vary depending on the product used, weather conditions, and application area. Most silicone sealants become touch dry within a few hours, but full curing can take 24–48 hours.
