Kennington: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Kennington?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Kennington?
Yes, Kennington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Kennington
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. Typical jobs include grout that’s cracking and breaking up and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In a smaller place like Kennington, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kennington as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Regrouting in Kennington: local notes
Kennington has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kennington Church of England Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for regrouting
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a smaller place like Kennington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Common problems we fix in Kennington
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
