14. Caulking & Sealing

Caulking might seem like a small detail, but when it’s cracked, peeling, or missing, it can lead to big problems—like water damage, mould growth, and drafts sneaking into your home. At Your Friendly Neighborhood Handyman, we provide professional caulking and sealing services across Saint George, Bayside, and the Sutherland Shire, helping you keep water out, warmth in, and everything looking sharp.

We handle a wide range of sealing jobs, including:

• Bathrooms and showers
   
• Kitchen splashbacks and benchtops
   
• Window and door frames
   
• Laundry and utility areas
   
• Skirting boards and trims
   
• Exterior gaps and joints
   

Whether you’re in a beachfront home in Dolls Point or a townhouse in Jannali, your property is exposed to moisture, shifting temperatures, and wear over time. That’s why sealing is essential—not just for function, but for keeping your home looking neat and well-maintained.

Our service includes:

• Careful removal of old or damaged caulk
   
• Surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion
   
• Application of fresh, clean lines of sealant
   
• Use of mould-resistant, waterproof products tailored to each space (e.g. bathroom-grade silicone, flexible gap fillers, exterior sealants)
   

In bathrooms and wet areas, poor sealing can let water seep behind tiles and into walls—causing rot, mould, and long-term structural damage. In windows and doors, old or gappy seals can lead to cold drafts, higher energy bills, and insect intrusion. We tackle both issues with precision, using high-quality products and applying them cleanly for a finish that’s both durable and discreet.

We’re especially experienced in handling the quirks of local homes—whether it’s resealing around windows in a post-war cottage in Kogarah Bay or tidying up old silicone in a high-rise apartment in Rockdale. Every job is approached with the same attention to detail, whether it’s a small gap under a kitchen bench or a full bathroom reseal.

And because we’re your friendly neighborhood handyman, we don’t just show up—we show up on time, clean up after ourselves, and leave your space better than we found it.

So if your caulking is cracking or your seals are past their prime, let us handle it.

A tight seal today means fewer headaches tomorrow.
