Almshouse Green questions
Will you come out to Almshouse Green?
Yes, Almshouse Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Almshouse Green?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
About our regrouting in Almshouse Green
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you have stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout washed out of a shower, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Almshouse Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Almshouse Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Signs you need regrouting in Almshouse Green
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you look after a building such as Hedingham School and Sixth Form, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why it’s worth doing now in Almshouse Green
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Almshouse Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
