Pollards Hill Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Pollards Hill? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Pollards Hill
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Pollards Hill, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Pollards Hill
I let a flat near Norbury station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Pollards Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Signs you need regrouting in Pollards Hill
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Homes close to St Oswald include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Pollards Hill
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Norbury station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Pollards Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Pollards Hill, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
