    Default Where to find Non-Sanded/Sandless/Unsanded Grout?

    I have been looking everywhere online for a place to purchase unsanded grout in London. I have gone to B & Q as well as Homebase and figured as much as they would not have it, however, I do do need to find it somewhere. Any insight is greatly appreciated on where I can get this.

    Thanks you!

    it is for less than 3mm and the project details request unsanded. I have been looking all over, literally, but have been unable to pinpoint a place that I could get this. I am a complete amateur, so I know that is part of it, however, I presumed finding a specialty store could address this deeper, I have just had zero luck in my efforts thus far. Thanks for the help!

    also it might be worth mentioning it is for walls -

    you will find that here in the uk most wall grouts are unsanded , based on portland cement and silica flour, and floor grouts or wide joint grouts are typically sanded grouts hope this helps

    You can get mapei ultracolour from CTD mate, though they may have to order it for you depending on what they stock, colour etc.

    For your nearest have a look here.....

    thanks for the helpful and useful responses. they are very beneficial as i had been racking my brain terribly earlier. i had to have a few pints to steam myself down! nothing like a hard days work locating something that seems elusive - usually i prefer it to be a pretty lady!

    even though the mapei ultracolor doesn't specifically say unsanded, is it still considered this?

    what would i need to ask for specifically when going into one of these places. i saw there was a worlds end tile place in battersea which isn't all too far from me, but didn't know if my luck would go far here. cheers again mates, i appreciate these efforts.
