Travertine Cleaning And Sealing Project In Jesmond – Tyne and Wear

Last Updated on January 15, 2021 by David

This polished Travetine floor in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, had lost its shine. The grout was also quite soiled. The homeowners wanted the floor cleaning and the polish restored.

I started by cleaning the Travertine and grout with Travertine cleaners and a rotary scrubbing machine. I rinsed off the slurry with clean water and allowed the floor to dry.

There were some holes, which is common with honed Travertine. I filled the holes with two-part resin filler and sanded the filler smooth with the floor.

I diamond-honed the floor to give an even sheen finish. Then I used Travertine polishing powder to restore a deep gloss to the floor.

Finally, I sealed the Travertine with an impregnating sealer.
