Landlord and commercial work in Forest Gate
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Forest Gate
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Forest Gate are no different.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Forest Gate
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
If you let a flat or house near Wanstead Park station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woodgrange Infant School, 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. As a London address, Forest Gate can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Forest Gate questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wanstead Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Forest Gate?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Forest Gate and the rest of Greater London, along with the rest of our area.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Forest Gate, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
