Landlord and commercial work in West Cliffe
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Regrouting in West Cliffe, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you have old grout in a dated colour and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can put it right, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles alike.
In a village or hamlet like West Cliffe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting around West Cliffe
West Cliffe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for West Cliffe
Do you take on hotel work around West Cliffe?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Martin Mill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover West Cliffe and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Cliffe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. For a village or hamlet like West Cliffe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
