What regrouting looks like in Orlestone
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hamstreet Primary Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Regrouting in Orlestone
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include a grout colour that no longer suits the room and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, across kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms.
Homes around Orlestone are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Other services in Orlestone
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Orlestone, 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.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep the fan on after showering
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Signs you need regrouting in Orlestone
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Orlestone: your questions answered
Do you cover Orlestone for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Orlestone is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
