Local Caulking Experts for Builders, Renovators & Designers
Northcote has a reputation for detail-driven homes, stylish renovations, and modern architectural builds — and our caulking work is designed to meet that same standard. Whether it’s a contemporary duplex, a knockdown-rebuild project, or a designer home with custom joinery, we provide precise and clean silicone work that adds to the final look.
We’re trusted by builders, interior designers, and tilers who know that the finish matters. We’re often called in to complete projects where attention to symmetry, silicone colour-matching, and care around natural materials are key. In homes where every line is considered, our caulking plays a small but important role in delivering that premium finish.

What We Are Caulking in Northcote
Bathrooms and wet areas: We work with tilers and plumbers to apply waterproof silicone around bathtubs, shower screens, niches, and vanities. Our caulking prevents water ingress and mould build-up, while also blending seamlessly with tiles and fittings for a polished look.
Window and door frames: From timber-framed heritage homes to aluminium-framed builds, we apply flexible, UV-resistant silicone around all window and door perimeters. This not only creates a clean edge but also protects against draughts, moisture, and long-term movement.
Stone benchtops and splashbacks: Whether it’s Caesarstone, marble, or granite, we use stone-safe silicone that won’t stain or react with porous surfaces. Each line is tooled smooth, maintaining the integrity of the benchtop and highlighting the quality of the installation.
Pools, coping joints, and alfrescos: External joints need to account for weather and movement. We caulk between pavers, natural stone, fibreglass edges, and concrete surrounds to allow for expansion while keeping water out. Our silicone products are outdoor-rated and colour matched for subtlety.
Internal/External expansion joints: In both commercial and residential properties, we handle expansion joints across floors, walls, and façades. Using flexible sealants designed for movement, we keep these joints clean and functional, without compromising the visual flow of the build.
Why Our Finish Makes a Difference
Northcote clients — from homeowners to architects — appreciate quality in the fine details. Our team takes the time to get those finishing touches right. We don’t just fill a gap and move on. Instead, we take the finish seriously, because it’s what people notice once everything else is done.
Silicone is colour-matched with the surrounding surface, whether that’s white on white, charcoal grout, or timber flooring. The result is a seamless join that blends with your material choices.
We use the right silicone for the right material — for example, stone-safe silicone for porous marble or granite, and mould-resistant silicone for wet areas. That means no staining, no breakdown, and no return visits.
Our joints are tooled evenly and symmetrically, creating visual continuity that enhances tiled edges, straight lines, and geometric forms. It’s this kind of attention that distinguishes a professional job from a rushed one.
By the time we’re caulking, the site is often near handover — and that’s when the client is inspecting everything. A clean line of silicone can elevate your project and avoid that “unfinished” feel that sometimes sneaks into the final days of a build.

Servicing Northcote and the Inner North
Based in Melbourne, we’re regularly on-site in Northcote and nearby suburbs like Fitzroy North, Thornbury, Preston, and Brunswick East. The inner north is filled with diverse architecture — from Victorian homes and Edwardian cottages to new apartment builds and sustainable townhouses. We’ve worked across all of them, adjusting our caulking methods to suit different surfaces, substrates, and styles.
Whether you’re a builder who needs final detailing for a client walk-through or a homeowner managing your own reno, we bring professionalism and precision to every job. Clean lines, on-time service, and joints that hold up for years — that’s what we deliver.
