Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration West Norwood

Limestone ultimately looses the original appearance. Scratching and etching build up and take off the initial polish. The only way to revive the finish is by polishing the tiles. Diamonds are used to get rid of the scratches anddamage and restore the original shine.

Almost all Limestone floors are not even since the tiles are not installed level. We can grind off the uneven edges of the tiles, making the tile surface level. You should have dedicated apparatus and many years of hands on experience to grind a Limestone floor, however the result is spectacular. The Limestone floor looks "monolithic", appearing to be made from a single piece of Limestone.

Following grinding, the Limestone be flush with the grout. Maintaining a ground, honed and polished Limestone floor is a lot like cleaning just one piece of glass. There are no grout lines to retain dirt. Limestone floor restoration generally involves a few chip and crack repairs, using resin fillers. After we have inspected the Limestone, we will advise the best Limestone restoration program.

Slate flooring is among the most popular forms of natural stone, given that it calls for less regular maintenance and mopping. Whilst slate has a low porosity, it's going to still partially absorb and oil based spills, leaving annoying marks.

We use a combination of machine scrubbing and hand scrubbing to get rid of all traces of older dirty sealers and clean the floor. When our professional cleaning is complete , the floor is left to dry, then put on a lasting, easy to maintain sealer.

If you prefer a smooth finish, we can grind the slate, but we have to gauge the slate before grinding.

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

The tiles are unglazed resulting from the natural colours from the clay used in their manufacture.

Along with the variations in home decoration, many of these floors get carpet underlay, lino, bitumen and different sticky residues.

Old paint spills, waxes, polishes and sealer remains makes cleaning these floors tricky.

A colour intensifying sealer is used immediately after cleaning, to restore the original colours in the tiles. If you want a sheen or gloss finish a surface sealer or wax may be applied.
