What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Monkwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

About our regrouting in Monkwood
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout washed out of a shower and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, across shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Monkwood, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Monkwood: your questions answered
Is regrouting in Monkwood guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do regrouting in Monkwood?
Yes, Monkwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Regrouting in Monkwood: 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.
Homes close to Monkwood Mission Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. In and around Monkwood, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Monkwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

For landlords and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
