About our regrouting in Newtown
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, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Newtown, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Advice
When to call us in Newtown
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Hever station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Before booking anyone

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Newtown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

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. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Questions from Newtown
Do you work for landlords with property near Hever station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Newtown?
Yes, Newtown is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Newtown homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
