    IMO i grout first... but this depends on how experienced you are with stone..

    So for you.. clean down with mild LTP grimex( 5:1), leave to dry over night then seal with LTP Mattstone.. leave to dry over night again then this will act as a pre-seal.. then grout and clean up as normal.. make sure they are clean and then seal with Mattstone again till the stone is sealed to saturation.

    Follow instructions on drying times between coats of sealer.

    As above, it wont do you any harm to seal before grouting, the end product is more important than the speed IMO
