Stone floors provide an attractive, functional and practical flooring solution. There are many factors that deteriorate stone tiles and this is, unfortunately, unavoidable. Years of regular use, spills, scuffs and foot traffic may leave them looking lifeless.

A huge benefit of stone is that it can be skilfully restored; we have developed this magnificent process to be tailored to the different requirements of each type of floor.

The process works effectively to grind away scratches, scuffs, etching and dull spots on the surface of the stone. This abrasive process reveals a new layer that allows a brilliant starting point to polish and finish.

Stone grinding requires an in-depth understanding. We use our experience and specialist techniques to produce the best possible results. We take into account the influencing factors such as age of the tile, depth of any scratches or damage, traffic, wear and colouration. The process needs to be tailored to make sure that the end result is exceptional.

We employ the use of our revolutionary stone polishing machinery. This effectively polishes stone tiles and prepares them to be fully sealed. The state-of-the-art machinery that we use produces a superior result in the fastest possible time.

We were called to have a look at a travertine floor in Leeds.

The grout lines and the tiles were soiled  and were not looking their best as you can see from the photos below.

After discussing the customer requirements we offered to carry out a free demonstration around the grout lines so the customer could see how good the tiles could look with the right treatment.

We protected the working area with waxed brown paper.

The travertine floor was cleaned with specialist floor cleaning equipment and then we then filled the holes in the travertine tiles.

The floor was left to dry and it was sealed the following day.

 

The travertine stone floor was restored to its former glory and after we added the tile and grout sealer, the floor looked a completely different colour after the restoration.
