Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Hornsey Vale

As time passes, Limestone will end up dull and loose its appearance. The dullness is due to minute scratching on the surface of the tile where it is often walked on. Limestone Polishing is your only way to reinstate the original polish. We use diamond polishing equipment to revive the surface.

It is pretty much unachievable to install a Limestone floor perfectly flat. The only method to make a Limestone tile floor perfectly flat is by grinding away the lippage and irregular tile edges. It is an involved process but the the finished results are fabulous. The Limestone looks "monolithic", appearing to be manufactured from an individual slab of Limestone.

After grinding, the tiles will be the same level the grout lines. Mopping a ground, honed and polished Limestone floor is much like cleaning just one slab of glass. There are no grout lines to retain soil. Cracks, chips and hole repairs in many cases are an element of the Limestone restoration work. The particular restoration needed should be determined by the state of the floor.

Slate is an incredibly flexible material which can be protected using a range of finishes from rough texture, smooth honed or polished surface. Though slate has a low porosity, it will probably always partially absorb and oil based spills, causing aggravating marks.

We use industrial-grade sealer removers and rotary scrubbing devices to eliminate the layers of old coatings. Then we use hard wearing sealers.

Some slate floors could be ground to a smooth finish.

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

Victorian tiles are manufactured from natural clay and have a normal non-shiny finish.

With the variations in interior design, these kinds of floors get underlay from carpet, lino adhesive, bitumen and additional sticky deposits.

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

A colour intensifying sealer is put on after cleaning, to displace the original colours within the tiles. The mat finish can be polished by applying a wax or topical sealer.

Porcelain is a ceramic mix with additional sand and feldspar added to create a denser tile.

This makes Porcelain a lot more stain resistant and easier to maintain than standard ceramic tiles.

Inferior porcelain has microscopic holes that may absorb soil similar to natural stone floors. This soil could be difficult to remove.

You need professional machinery and cleaning solutions to eliminate this soil.

We can help stop the dirt using Porcelain sealers.

If you've got a solid colour Porcelain, we are able to re-surface the tiles by Grinding and re-polishing.

There in many cases are aspects of natural stone restoration in natural stone floor cleaning. Each kind of natural stone features its own advantages and restoration issues. At the very least, all stone floors endure some type of generic damage. The most common challenge we run across during stone restoration is greasy soil scuffed into the floor creating a unexciting, unattractive polish. Highly polished floors like terrazzo, Stone and granite reveal wear sooner because the polish goes dull from traffic scratches. Traffic damage eventually has an effect on porous natural stone like Sandstone, Limestone, Terracotta and Travertine, which are most often protected with a film-forming surface sealer.

Grout is generally the most sensitive element of a stone or tile installation. Dirty grout is a common problem to be dealt with on natural stone and tile floors. Cracks, chips and hole repairs are frequently a part of the restoration work.

Grinding and honing takes out damage from etch spills and surface scratching.Natural stone has the advantage that a dirty, porous surface can be taken away, unveiling an attractive new surface.
