Forestdale: your questions answered
I let a flat near Sanderstead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Forestdale?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work in Forestdale?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Forestdale.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out at the start.
Regrouting in Forestdale
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you are dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can help, whatever the surface.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Forestdale, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why act early in Forestdale
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a flat in Forestdale, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Forestdale
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. 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.
Managing a site like Courtwood Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Forestdale can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a job in Forestdale, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Do you need regrouting in Forestdale?
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
For landlords with property near Sanderstead station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
