Sealant work in Durham homes

Durham is a small city built round the cathedral and castle on a loop of the River Wear, and the streets on and around the peninsula, in Elvet, Claypath and Crossgate, are old stone and brick buildings, many of them listed. The Victorian terraces near the viaduct, in Gilesgate and on the Western Hill side are packed with student houses. Newton Hall, to the north, is a large private estate of 1960s and 1970s homes, Framwellgate Moor, Pity Me and Belmont have a mix of council-built and private housing, and Neville's Cross and the Merryoaks side have bigger semis. Round the city, former pit villages such as Brandon, Ushaw Moor, Sacriston, Bowburn and Sherburn are lined with brick terraces, and new estates have been added on the edges of several of them.

Silicone sealant and resealing in Durham

A typical home sealant job in Durham is resealing: cutting out tired, split or mouldy silicone round a bath, shower tray, basin or kitchen worktop and running a fresh bead of sanitary silicone, or replacing cracked mastic round window and door frames. Post one photo of each joint with your postcode district, for example DH1, and silicone sealant applicators who cover Durham can reply with a message and a guide price. See bathroom and kitchen resealing or window and door mastic for what to include.

Sealant jobs in Durham for applicators

The university is one of the biggest employers, with colleges, halls, labs and teaching blocks that bring planned maintenance, much of it over the summer. Aykley Heads has offices and the county council's headquarters, the University Hospital of North Durham is on the edge of the city, and Dragonville, Belmont and Meadowfield have industrial estates with warehouses and workshops. The new business park at Bowburn, near the A1(M), adds large sheds with floor and cladding joints, and letting agents post resealing in student houses between tenancies.

Student houses and listed buildings in Durham

Most student lets in Durham change hands at the end of June, and landlords tend to want every bathroom resealed before the new group arrives. If you have more than one house, list them in one business job or post each with its own district, and give the dates they are empty and how to get keys, so an applicator can plan the work in one trip.

A lot of the centre is in the conservation area, and some buildings near the cathedral and castle are listed. If yours is, say so in the post, add close photos of the frames and the stone round them, and mention any consent conditions you have been given, so applicators can choose a sealant colour and finish that suits the building.

Frequently asked questions

Can I post from Chester-le-Street, Stanley or Consett?

Yes. They use DH postcodes, so post with your own district, for example DH2 or DH3 for Chester-le-Street, DH9 for Stanley or DH8 for Consett. Seaham and Peterlee use SR postcodes and are on the Sunderland page, and Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland use DL postcodes and are on the Darlington page. Applicator numbers vary by area, so we cannot promise a response to every job.

My terrace in an old pit village has damp round the back window. Is it the sealant?

It can be, if the bead round the frame has cracked or pulled away. Damp can also come through old pointing, a cracked sill or a leaking gutter, and sealing over those problems just hides them. Add photos of the window from outside and say where the damp shows inside, so applicators can tell you what they think before quoting.

Can a college or the university's contractors post work?

Yes. Choose the business option, list the buildings and rooms with rough joint lengths, give the weeks the rooms are empty and any site rules such as inductions or permits, so applicators who can work to them claim the job.
