Regrouting in Telegraph Hill
Problem with your tiled areas in Telegraph Hill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Regrouting in Telegraph Hill, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Telegraph Hill, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What else we do in Telegraph Hill
Telegraph Hill homes and their sealant
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Catherine's Hatcham, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Telegraph Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Do you need regrouting in Telegraph Hill?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you look after a building such as Haberdashers' Hatcham College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Have loose tiles looked at early
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Telegraph Hill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Brockley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Telegraph Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
