Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Gidea Park

Limestone ultimately looses its original finish. Surface scratches and spill damage strengthen and damage the initial finish. Limestone Polishing is your only way to reinstate the original finish. We use diamond polishing machines to bring back the original gloss.

If your floor has been put down leaving uneven tiles, this will be known as lippage. The only way to make a Limestone tile floor perfectly smooth is by grinding off the lippage and uneven edges of the tiles. Grinding Limestone floor tiles should really be completed by restoration professionals. The floor will appear like just one piece of stone.

Following grinding, the grout sits will sit at the same level as the Limestone. An even Limestone finish is much simpler clean. Also, soil doesn't get stuck within the grout lines. Cracks, chips and hole repairs tend to be part of the restoration work. Once we assess your floor, we will advice he optimum Limestone restoration procedure.

Slate is an extremely popular floor and wall tile due to its low porosity and the numerous varieties and textures of Slate available. Our company is commonly called to clean slate when it has layers of old coating with embedded dirt, and so the appearance appears dull and dirty.

We use a mix of machine and hand scrubbing to get rid of all traces of old dirty sealers and clean the floor. Then we put on hard wearing sealers.

Some slate floors could be ground to a smooth finish.

Victorian Clay Tiles are installed in a lot of Victorian and Edwardian hallways.

The tiles are unglazed with the the natural colours of the clay used to make them.

With the variations in residential decoration, these floors get carpet underlay, lino, bitumen and other sticky deposits.

The key issues with victorian floor tiles is to remove several of oils, polishes, dirt, waxes and grime while not damaging the tiles.

Porcelain is becoming an increasingly sought after alternative to standard ceramic tiles and natural stone.

This makes Porcelain more stain resistant and easier to keep up than standard ceramic tiles.

Inferior porcelains have microscopic holes that may absorb soil just like natural stone floors. It can be difficult to remove this soil.

We can remove ingrained dirt using equipment made to get into the microscopic pits holding the soil.

Our Porcelain sealers can help stop further soil problems.

Solid colour Porcelain Tiles can also be ground and polished, just like Granite or Stone.

There are often aspects of natural stone restoration when undertaking natural stone tile cleaning. Each type of natural stone features its own advantages and restoration issues. At the least, all stone and tile bear some form of general damage. In most cases, soil, spillages and foot traffic marks spoil the floor finish, hence the need to have stone restoration. Highly polished floors like Stone, Granite and Terrazzo show surface damage more quickly because the lustre dulls from foot traffic marks. Traffic problems gradually has an effect on porous natural stone including Limestone, Travertine, Sandstone and Terracotta, which are usually coated with a surface sealer.

Grout is normally probably the most sensitive element of a floor installation. Being slightly recessed, hence the grout traps more dirt than the natural stone itself. Holes may be filled and cracks repaired as part of a restoration.

We use resurfacing to remove surface damage caused by acid etching and scratches.Natural stone has got the advantage that a grubby, permeable finish can be taken off, uncovering a beautiful new surface.
