How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Houghton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

About our regrouting in Houghton
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Houghton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

FAQs for Houghton
Do you work for landlords with property near Amberley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Houghton in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Houghton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
How much does regrouting cost in Houghton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Regrouting in Houghton: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dorset House School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Houghton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Houghton
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
