We do silicone and sealing in Sant Andreu. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and begin. 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 water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top or side frame, and forcing it closed only worsens the hinge.

How we work

You will receive a fixed quote before starting, with labour and materials detailed, without surcharges or hidden clauses. We renew bathtub, shower tray, sink, and countertop seals by first removing the old silicone and cleaning thoroughly. We apply anti-mould sanitary silicone to prevent leaks and black stains. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for silicone and sealing in Sant Andreu

In winter, when humidity drops and dry westerly winds arrive, the wood contracts. The door closes well but there's a visible gap between the door and the frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided by two things: 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. Traditional knob hinges, those found on old construction doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, you need to plane down the wood or replace the hinges with modern adjustable models. Planning 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. 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 fittings are of better quality but also require maintenance. Lubricating hinges and adjusting locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them being too hard to open. Minimum 24 hours for full curing. Quality neutral silicone is touch-dry in 30 minutes, but internal curing needs 24 hours to be watertight. We solve those everyday breakdowns that accumulate: a dripping tap, a loose socket, a blind that won't go up. We arrive prepared with common tools and materials to resolve most issues in a single visit.

Indicative price

The price for silicone and sealing in Sant Andreu typically ranges between 28 and 216 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. All work performed is covered by a 30-day guarantee: if something fails, we return at no extra cost. Before starting any work, you will receive a written quote with a breakdown of labour and materials. Only if you accept it will the intervention begin, and the agreed price will not change unless extra tasks arise that you approve.

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 hinges, you need to plane down 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a window blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Changing tape: an extra 30-45 min if the main box is normally accessible.
Why does air come through the closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets 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 fittings, 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 door will always have this seasonal cycle even if it's varnished.
