Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Barnet Gate

The original finish on Limestone tiles will gradually dull. Scratching and etch marks add up and dull the initial surface. The only way to reinstate the original finish is by polishing the tiles. We use diamond polishing to grind, hone and polish the floor and repair the original surface.

It is very nearly impossible to lay a Limestone floor really flat. We can grind off the uneven edges of the tiles, making a floor surface level. Grinding Limestone must be carried out by professionals. The Limestone floor will get the appearance of looking like a single area of Limestone.

Following grinding, the grout sits is level with the Limestone. It is less of a challenge to maintain a smooth Limestone than an uneven floor. A smooth surface floor does not have grout lines to hold soil. Holes, chips and crack repairs are often part of the restoration service. After we have assessed the floor, we can advise the very best Limestone restoration program.

Slate flooring is one of the most popular types of natural stone, because it calls for less maintenance and mopping. We are mostly called to restore slate when it suffers form layers of old sealer with embedded soil, so the surface looks worn and dirty.

There are specialist machines and chemical treatments to eliminate the soil and old coatings, restoring the original slate finish. After professional cleaning we use hard wearing sealers.

If you prefer a smooth floor, we can grind the floor, subject to the slate being suitable for grinding.

Many Victorian and Edwardian hallways will have floors made from Geometric Encaustic tiles.

The tiles have a matt finish and acquire their colour through the clay found in their manufacture.

Along with the variations in interior decoration, many of these floors get underlay from carpet, lino, bitumen and additional sticky deposits.

Old paint spills, polishes, waxes and sealer residues helps make cleaning many of these floors a challenge.

A colour intensifying sealer is put on following cleaning, to restore the initial colours into the tiles. Topical sealers and waxes will give a floor a sheen or glossy finish.

Porcelain is categorised as a ceramic, but created with alternative ingredients to standard glazed tiles.

Premium Porcelain has very low porosity, which means less stains, less water damage and mold, and less need to be sealed.

Some inferior porcelains have surface pores that will absorb soil just like natural stone floors. The minute surface pits insure that it is hard to remove this soil.

You need specialist equipment and cleaners to get rid of this soil.

After cleaning, we use specific Porcelain sealers to avoid this problem.

If you have a solid colour Porcelain, we can re-surface the tiles by Grinding and re-polishing.

Natural stone cleaning normally involves extra restoration services. Each kind of natural stone possesses its own characteristics and restoration difficulties. Stone floors have problems with foot traffic wear and damage, because people walk on them. The most common issue we run into during stone restoration is oily soil scuffed in to the floor causing a flat, unsightly appearance. Highly polished floors like granite, Stone and terrazzo reveal surface damage more quickly as the polish goes dull from foot traffic marks. Permeable natural stone and tile that is sealed with a coating sealer will gradually suffer scratch damage.

Grout is frequently probably the most vulnerable section of a stone or tile installation. Cement grout is softer than natural stone stone and tile and more at risk of abrasion and chemical wear and tear. Cracks, chips and hole repairs are commonly an element of the restoration work.

We remove acid etch marks and scratching by grinding and honing. Natural stone can be ground to show a brand new stone finish.
