Questions from Upper Denford

Do you cover smaller places like Upper Denford?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you cover Upper Denford for regrouting?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Denford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out before any grout comes out.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. 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.

How we handle regrouting in Upper Denford

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout washed out of a shower and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.

Somewhere as small as Upper Denford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls

We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.

Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • A leaking wet room membrane

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Shower walls

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What we do, step by step

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Upper Denford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Around Upper Denford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
