Regrouting near Goathurst Common

What we’re called out for in Goathurst Common

Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ide Hill Church of England Primary 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.

About our regrouting in Goathurst Common

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that won’t come clean.

Homes around Goathurst Common are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • A leaking wet room membrane

If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work in Goathurst Common

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Shower walls
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom floors

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Goathurst Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Advice

Goathurst Common questions

Can you do regrouting in Goathurst Common?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Goathurst Common is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

I let a flat near Sevenoaks station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout

Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.

Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

Why act early in Goathurst Common

Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Goathurst Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
