Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning services deal with a range of Sandstone floor types, among them classic local sandstone like York stone and flagstone.
We apply a powerful cleaner. After twenty minutes, the cleaner has softened the soil. Rotary scrubbing helps lift the ingrained soil from the stone.
Then, our specialists rinse and vacuum off the dirty water and assess the condition of the floor. Continue scrubbing plus rinsing until the floor is clean. With honed Sandstone, a couple of scrub and rinse steps is usually sufficient. Tumbled Sandstone usually needs more cleaning and rinsing passes. Rotary scrubbing may well not get rid of all the impacted soil.
Pressure Rinsing Sandstone
The final phase in cleaning Sandstone tiles, is known as hot rinsing.
Heated water is sprayed in to the Sandstone at pressure, discharging ingrained dirt.
Pressurised rinsing gets rid of the residual ingrained soil.
Sandstone Restoration
After removing the soil, the floor may need further sandstone restoration.
Repairing Sandstone Floor Grout
Sandstone grout will get marked from spillages and affected caustic cleaners. In the event that grout is over four mm deep, new grout can be applied on top of the old grout.
If the old grout isn't very deep, it can be taken out with diamond cutters and then re-grouted.
The removal of old grout and re-grouting is a costly job.
Damaged, chips and cracked tiles can be repaired or replaced. The floor left to dry before applying a stone sealer.

An impregnating sealer is best for types of floors. In the majority of installs 3 or 4 coats of impregnating sealer will be enough to stop spills penetrating into the stone. Regrettably, several installers apply only a single layer, which brings about troubles down the road.
