Failed caulking in Preston period homes is usually the wrong product doing a job it was never suited to: rigid filler in a moving timber joint, or interior gap filler used outside. We strip those failures and refit each joint with sealant matched to timber movement and weather.
The failure pattern in Preston brick homes is predictable: everything sealed at construction fails within a few years of everything else. We often quote one room and end up renewing the whole house, because doing it in one visit is cheaper than four call-outs. Add in the same work from Thornbury and Northcote, and this stretch of Melbourne’s inner north is one of our busiest runs.
