Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning programs covers a selection of Sandstone floor types, among them traditional local sandstone like York stone and flagstone.
Our specialists use a powerful Sandstone tile cleaner onto the tiles. Then our professionals leave the Sandstone tile cleaner for up to 20 minutes in order to break up the dirt. Rotary scrubbing machines gets the soil from the stone pores.
Our technicians use clean water to wash off the cleaning slurry. Our specialists continue with the machine scrubbing until it's lifted all the ingrained dirt it can. Smooth Sandstone is generally clean after 1 or 2 scrub abd rinse steps. Tumbled Sandstone usually needs more passes. Srubbing machinery may not clear away all soil.

Sandstone Restoration
After the floor has been cleaned, we can see if there are more problems to be resolved.
Repairing The Grout on a Sandstone Floor
Extreme cleaners and spillages can permanently damage the colour of a grout. Deep grout can be deep cleaned and then regrouted with new grout.
If the grout isn't over three mm deep, we use diamond cutters to cut out the old grout before re-grouting.
Costs can increase if grout needs to be taken out and the area regrouted.
Damaged, chips and cracked tiles can be repaired or replaced. The floor is then left to dry before putting on the sealer.
Sandstone Sealing
The sort of sealer to use hinges on the type of a floor-base.
Sealing Floors With No A Damp-Proof Membrane Layer
In older residential homes and buildings, Sandstone can be installed on sub-floors without a damp-proof membrane layer. In the UK there are a lot of older properties with stone floors. The floor tiles ought to permit the free flow of moisture from the sub-floor, that will determine the choice of the sealer. An impregnating sealer is ideal for types of floors. 3 or 4 coats of sealer really should provide the required degree of protection. When less sealer is applied, the sealer cannot protect the Sandstone.
Sealing Floors That Have A Damp-proof Membrane
If you prefer to sustain the modern matt-look on your Sandstone, an impregnating sealer will sustain the natural finish.
Sandstone may also be sealed using a surface sealer or film-forming sealer.
A surface sealer sits on the top of the Sandstone, providing spill and abrasion protection.
Acids cause less immediate wear to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and damage the Sandstone.
Surface sealers provide additional protection for the Sandstone and the grout.
Because the sealer stays over the surface of the Sandstone, we suggest using a couple of coats of impregnating sealer first.
The impregnating sealer helps to protect high wear areas.
A surface sealer will keep going for two to four years before it requires topping up.
A six month examination of high traffic areas is recommended.
Deep clean traffic areas to allow them to be re-sealed.
A number of coats of sealer should restore the finish.
If you do this, your sealer will continue working much longer.
