Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration East Dulwich

In time, Limestone will become worn and loose its shine. The dull appearance is due to minute scratches on the surface of the Limestone where it was walked on. Limestone Polishing is the best way to revive the original appearance. We use industrial diamond polishing machines to restore the original shine.

Nearly all Limestone tile floors are uneven due to the fact tiles are not installed level. The only way to make a Limestone tile floor perfectly smooth is by grinding away the lippage and irregular edges of the tiles. You need dedicated machines and several years of Limestone grinding and polishing to successfully grind a Limestone tile floor, however the result is breathtaking. The Limestone floor looks monolithic, appearing to be manufactured from an individual slab of Limestone.

Following grinding, the grout sits will be level with the Limestone. Mopping a ground, honed and polished Limestone floor is a lot like cleaning an individual slab of glass. A smooth floor doesn't have grout lines to hold grime. Holes, chips and crack repairs are often an element of the Limestone restoration procedure. After assessing the Limestone floor, we can advise the very best Limestone restoration program.

Slate is a wonderfully flexible stone which can be protected using a variety of finishes including rough texture, smooth honed or polished finish. Riven slate will get a build-up of dirt and sealer residues inside the crevices that is difficult to get rid of.

We use a combination of machine scrubbing and hand scrubbing to get rid of all traces of existing dirty sealers and clean the slate. Once the professional cleaning is completed,we then put on a long-lasting sealer to make your floor easier to mop.

If you want a smooth finish, we can grind the floor, but we need to measure the slate before grinding.

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

The tiles have a matt finish to get their colour from the clay found in their manufacture.

With the changes in home design, these floors have carpet underlay, lino, bitumen and different adhesive remains.

Cleaning these floors could be challenging owing to the range of old sealers and covering residues.

A colour intensifying sealer is put on immediately after cleaning, to restore the first colours within the tiles. If you prefer a sheen or gloss finish a topical sealer or wax could be applied.

Porcelain is a ceramic mixture with additional sand and feldspar included to make a denser tile.

Top quality Porcelain has very low porosity, this means less stains, less water damage and mold, much less need for sealing.

There are some inferior porcelains that can absorb surface soil and spills similar to natural stone floors. It could be hard to remove this soil.

We possess the experience and equipment to remove this hard to reach soil.

When your porcelain floor has been cleaned we are able to use a sealer which protects against everyday spillages.

If the porcelain is a through-colour, we are able to resurface the porcelain, exactly like granite or Stone restoration.

There are often aspects of natural stone restoration during natural stone cleaning. Each type of natural stone has its own characteristics and restoration issues. At the very least, all stone floors bear some type of basic wear and tear. Foot traffic damage, spills and surface problems will happen on many stone and tile floors, wrecking the surface, making the stone look dull and ugly, consequently the significance of stone restoration. Polished Stone tiles and granite floors show wear and tear rapidly, as little traffic scratches on the stone finish dull the luster and capture soil. Wear damage eventually affects porous natural stone including Travertine, Terracotta, Sandstone & Limestone, which are most often coated with a surface sealer.

Most stone and tile floors have grout. Cementatious grout is softer than natural stone stone and tile and much more at risk of abrasion and chemical based damage. Holes can be filled and cracks repaired as part of the restoration.

We use grinding and honing to take away stone finish damage brought on by acid etching and scratch damage.Natural stone has got the appeal that a soiled, porous finish can be taken off, exposing a lovely new surface.
