Regrouting in Thames View Estate
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Common call-outs are for stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Thames View Estate, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Questions from Thames View Estate
Is parking a problem for a job in Thames View Estate?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I let a flat near Barking Riverside station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. In a London area like Thames View Estate, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thames View Estate
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Thames View Estate
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thames View Infants, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Thames View Estate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Signs you need regrouting in Thames View Estate
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
In the older streets around Christ Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
