Regrouting in Peaks Hill

Regrouting around Peaks Hill

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. Peaks Hill has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

In the older streets around Church of St Mark, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Coloma Convent Girls' School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Regrouting in Peaks Hill

We work across Peaks Hill, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in corners that has cracked.

In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Peaks Hill are no different.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What happens if it’s left?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Why us?

  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
  • Fully insured
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Peaks Hill questions

Could a tired shower seal in my Peaks Hill flat affect the neighbours below?

It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.

Do you take on hotel work around Peaks Hill?

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.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Do you cover Peaks Hill?

Yes. We cover Peaks Hill and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can you change the grout colour?

It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

What we do, step by step

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Peaks Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What sealant work cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Shower walls
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom floors

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What affects the quote in Peaks Hill

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The size of the job
  • The type of sealant required

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The type of property
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The rough size of the job
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.

Signs you need regrouting in Peaks Hill

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Floor grout that will not come clean
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Old grout in a dated colour

Peaks Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
