We do silicone and sealing in Les Roquetes. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. Traditional knob hinges, those seen on old construction doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, you need to shave wood with a plane or replace hinges with modern adjustable models. Shaving wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the rubbing area, seal the cut, and the door closes properly again.

How we work

You will receive a fixed quote before we start, with labour and materials detailed, no surcharges or hidden clauses. We renovate seals on bathtubs, shower trays, sinks, and countertops by first removing old silicone and thoroughly cleaning. We apply anti-mould sanitary silicone to prevent leaks and black stains. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond within 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for silicone and sealing in Les Roquetes

In winter, when humidity drops and dry westerly winds blow, wood contracts. The door closes well but there's a visible gap between the door and frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided in two ways. Either replace it with an MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't move, or learn to live with it and adjust the hinges as needed. This is a very specific pattern for the area. Solid wood interior doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when there's high humidity and high temperatures, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubbing against the top or side frame, and forcing it closed only worsens the hinge. We identify the real cause (humidity, settlement, worn hardware) before taking action.

Materials and brands

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal break, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating hinges and regulating closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them becoming too difficult to open. Minimum 24 hours for complete curing. Quality neutral silicone is touch-dry in 30 minutes but internal curing needs 24 hours to be watertight. We assemble wardrobes, shelves, beds, desks, and kitchen furniture following manufacturers' instructions. We level, anchor to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion.

Indicative price

The price for silicone and sealing in Les Roquetes usually ranges between 28 and 216 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. All work carried out is covered by a 30-day guarantee: if anything goes wrong, we return at no extra cost. Before starting any work, you will receive a written quote with a breakdown of labour and materials. Intervention only begins if you accept it, and the agreed price will not change unless extra tasks arise that you approve.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without shaving wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old, non-adjustable, it's necessary to shave 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to fix a window blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Changing tape: 30-45 min extra if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air come through a closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets if necessary. This improves insulation and reduces bills.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate hardware, and replace handles or parts if damaged. We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years.
Can a door that swells in summer be permanently fixed?
Only by replacing it with an MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't move. A solid wood door will always have this seasonal cycle even if varnished.
