Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning programs covers a variety of Sandstone types, such as common local sandstone like York stone and natural flagstone.
First,our professionals apply a strong Sandstone tile cleaner and degreaser over the tles. Then our specialists leave the cleaning solution for around 20 minutes to break up the greasy dirt. Rotary scrubbing equipment removes the soil from the stone.
Our specialists rinse the floor with water and vacuum up the slurry. Continue scrubbing and also rinsing until the floor is clean. Honed Sandstone is normally clean after 1 or 2 scrubbing and rinsing steps. More scrub and rinse passes might possibly be required for tumbled Sandstone.

Repairing Sandstone Floor Grout
Harsh cleaning chemicals and spillages can permanently damage the colour of grout. If the grout sits over four mm deep, new grout can be put on top of the existing grout.
If the grout isn't over 3 mm deep, we have diamond cutting tools to remove the old grout before re-grouting.
Costs can increase if grout has got to be removed and the area regrouted.
Chips, cracked and damaged tiles can be repaired or replaced. The Sandstone floor tiles are left to dry overnight before putting on the sandstone sealer.

Old homes frequently do not have a damp-proof layer. The UK has a large number of these kinds of old buildings with stone basement floors. These types of floors need to have be sealed with a breathable sealer. An impregnating sealer is preferred for types of floors. Sandstone will require 3 or more coats of impregnating sealer. One coat of impregnating sealer is not enough to protect these kinds of floors.
Sealing Floors Laid Over A Damp-Proof Membrane.
If you prefer to maintain the natural matt-look on your Sandstone tiles, an impregnating sealer will maintain the natural finish.
Surface or film-forming sealers are put on on Sandstone.
A surface sealer sits over the surface of the Sandstone, giving you spill and abrasion protection.
Acids cause less immediate wear to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and wear the Sandstone.
The film acts Because a wear layer, taking damage from shoe traffic in place of the Sandstone itself.
A surface sealer used after an impregnating sealer delivers greater protection.
If the surface sealer wears, the impregnating sealer still gives you protection up until the Sandstone is re-sealed.
A surface sealer can continue working for two to four years before it requires topping up.
We advise checking wear areas every half a year for wear.
If an area is displaying traffic, deep clean the location to get rid of soil.
