Questions from Fordwich
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Fordwich for regrouting?
Yes, Fordwich is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Fordwich?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Fordwich
We work across Fordwich, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with shower grout that has worn away and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Fordwich are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Landlord and commercial work in Fordwich
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Signs you need regrouting in Fordwich
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Letting a property close to Sturry station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep the fan on after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
How we quote for regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fordwich, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting around Fordwich
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Sturry Church of England Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
