Hogben's Hill: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hogben's Hill?
Yes. Hogben's Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Selling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will confirm how long when we quote.
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?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How much does regrouting cost in Hogben's Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
How we handle regrouting in Hogben's Hill
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in corners that has cracked.
Homes around Hogben's Hill 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Hogben's Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hogben's Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Selling Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Selling station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Hogben's Hill
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Hogben's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
