How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Sissinghurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
How we handle regrouting in Sissinghurst
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Around Sissinghurst, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Sissinghurst questions
Is Sissinghurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Sissinghurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Staplehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Quotes for regrouting in Sissinghurst
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common problems we fix in Sissinghurst
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Letting a property close to Staplehurst station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse the tiles after showering
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Regrouting in Sissinghurst: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Cranbrook School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
