Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We apply silicone and sealants in Palau-solità i Plegamans. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Traditional round hinges, like those seen on old built-in doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, you need to plane off wood with a brush or replace the hinges with modern adjustable models. Planing 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 again.

How we work

Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after application, it's smoothed with a silicone spatula or a finger dipped in soapy water to create the characteristic uniform concave finish. Masking tape is removed before the silicone begins to cure, within the first 5 minutes. First, the old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over the old; it won't adhere and will peel off within weeks. Removal is done with a special cutter, scraper, and, in difficult cases, with a specific chemical softener that dissolves the old silicone without damaging the tile.

When to call for silicone & sealant in Palau-solità i Plegamans

In winter, when humidity drops and the dry westerly wind blows, the wood contracts. The door closes well, but there's visible looseness between the door and the frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood, and it can only be avoided by two things: either replacing it with an MDF or multi-laminate door that doesn't warp, or learning to live with it and occasionally adjusting the hinges. This is a very specific pattern in the area. Solid wood interior doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when humidity and temperature are high, the wood absorbs moisture from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubbing against the top or side of the frame, and forcing it only damages the hinge. We identify the real cause (humidity, settling, worn hardware) before acting.

Materials and brands

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal breaks, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating hinges and adjusting locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents drafts in winter or makes them easier to open. Minimum 24 hours for full curing. Quality neutral silicone is touch-dry in 30 minutes, but internal curing takes 24 hours to be waterproof. We assemble wardrobes, shelves, beds, desks, and kitchen furniture according to the manufacturer's instructions. We level, anchor to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion.

Frequently asked questions

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