Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Scone

The initial surface on a Limestone floor will steadily loose its finish. The dullness is due to microscopic scratches on the surface of the stone where it has been walked over. Limestone Polishing is your only way to revive the original shine. Diamonds are used to take away the dmaage and marks and rebuild the original surface.

If your floor has been put down with jagged tiles, it is known as lippage. We can grind away the irregular edges of the tiles, making the floor surface smooth. You must have specialist machinery and years of experience to grind, hone and polish a Limestone tile floor, but the final result is spectacular. The Limestone looks "monolithic", appearing to be made from just one slab of Limestone.

After grinding, the Limestone will be the same level the grout. A smooth Limestone surface is much easier to keep. Also, soil does not get stuck into the grout lines. If your Limestone floor has cracks or chips, we are able to repair the damage using resin fillers, colour matched to the Limestone. We will advise the appropriate restoration service.

Slate floors look great with regards to textured surface and stunning colours. Though slate has a low porosity, it will probably always partly absorb and oil based spills, causing irritating marks.

We now have specialist equipment and products to eliminate the soil and old sealers, reviving the original slate finish. When the professional cleaning is finished, use specialist sealers that last for many years not months.

Some slate floors can be ground to a smooth finish.

Period Geometric or Encaustic floor tiles are installed in Victorian and Edwardian hallways.

The main features of Victorian tiles are the natural clay colours and a matt finish.

A good number of these floors were initially sealed and then covered with carpet and lino.

The primary concerns with victorian floor tiles is removing years of oils, polishes, dirt, waxes and grime while not doing damage to the tiles.

After cleaning, the initial colours in the floor tiles can appear washed-out, so we apply a colour intensifying impregnating sealer to bring back the original depth of colour. Topical sealers and waxes can give the floor a sheen or glossy finish.

Porcelain is classed as a ceramic, but created with alternative materials than conventional ceramic tiles.

This helps make Porcelain much more stain resistant and easier to keep up than standard ceramic tiles.

Some inferior porcelain has surface pores that may absorb soil similar to natural stone floors. It could be difficult to remove this soil.

You need specialist machines and cleaning solutions to remove this soil.

We can help stop this soil with Porcelain sealers.

If the porcelain is a solid colour, we could resurface the porcelain, exactly like granite or Stone restoration.

Natural tone floor cleaning is seldom cleaning alone, there is certainly regularly added restoration required. Each kind of natural stone features its own characteristics and restoration issues. All natural stone floors have problems with surface damage and general wear challenges. In many cases, dirt, spillages and foot traffic scrapes spoil the floor finish, hence the need for stone restoration. Highly polished floors like Stone, Granite and Terrazzo show wear sooner as the shiny finish gets dull from traffic marks. Wear problems gradually affects porous natural stone like Terracotta, Limestone, Sandstone & Travertine, which are usually coated with a surface sealer.

Most natural stone flooring have cementatious grout lines. Cementatious grout is softer compared to natural stone stone and tile and much more at risk of abrasion and chemical based damage. Many floors also often need to have crack, chip or hole repair.

We get rid of acid etch marks and scratching by grinding and honing. Natural stone can be ground to show a new stone surface.
