FAQs for Braiswick
Do you cover smaller places like Braiswick?
Yes. Braiswick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Braiswick?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Braiswick
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Braiswick, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Landlord and commercial work in Braiswick
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Braiswick needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Braiswick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Regrouting around Braiswick
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Braiswick. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Colchester County High School for Girls, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Colchester station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
