About our regrouting in Lower Green

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help, whatever the surface.

In a village or hamlet like Lower Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lower Green and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Lower Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

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.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout

We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

What regrouting looks like in Lower Green

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

FAQs for Lower Green

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Lower Green?

All our work, in Lower Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.

Do you need regrouting in Lower Green?

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 work begins.

People generally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened

Around Lower Green, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to choose a mastic man

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet rooms

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.

Corners and edges

Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.

What affects the cost of regrouting

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Any mould that needs treating

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The address or postcode of the job

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
