-
Caulking or joint sealing is the art of applying a sealant between a gap of crevice to make it watertight.
-
Seals that are applied poorly may only last a couple of months but they should last for several years.
Seals lasting over 10 years is not uncommon but eventually the seals will break down and stop doing the job that they were designed to do.
If left long enough they will allow moisture to penetrate and start causing damage to the structure they were protecting.
For such a small outlay it could save you alot of money in the long run.
Have you ever scrubbed your bench tops, vanity's or tiles and they still look terrible?
This is probably because your seals are mouldy or the tiles & grout are covered in years of dirt.
New seals will give you a nice tidy look & protect it from water, dirt, & insect penetration.
If you go one step further you can get a full makeover that will give you a new looking bathroom or kitchen for a fraction of the cost of renovating the entire space.
Mould is not only unsightly but it can pose some serious health implications as it can cause allergens, irritants and sometimes toxic substances.

Take a look around your home or office, if you can see gaps, splits or cracking where there has been sealant or grout previously than chances are you need to have it sealed back up.
Pay particular attention to any showers, vanities, windows, doors & sinks that have an open gap, sealant coming away or cracking grout. The number of homes we visit and that have no seal whatsoever is quite high and you can start to see water damage on vanities and connected walls.
Silicon will not last forever and will gradually break down and come away, sometimes people are tidying up and pull away the mouldy silicon off not really understanding why its there.
We have also been to several newly contructed buildings which just never had any silicon installed or they have used grout in areas where silicon would have been a better solution.
If you are unsure just contact us and we would be happy to go through it with you.

It really depends on the job but we always use high quality products that will last for years to come.
Be wary of cheaper products and services, as the saying goes you get what you pay for.
-
Unfortunately all sealants give off some odour but it usually only lasts about 24 hrs, think of it like paint drying.
-
For caulking the average bead will start to form a skin in about 20 minutes but will take roughly 24hrs to cure.
We recommend that you leave your new seals alone as long as possible to ensure a strong bond. In cooler times of the year it can take a bit longer to cure.
