Services

Before any work is carried out, we survey the area to be cleaned. We identify the stone type, look at the condition of grouting, select the most suitable cleaning solution, and protect nearby surroundings with masking paper.

Cleaning

The solutions we use are highly advanced using surfactant technology, some also contain natural soaps and plant extracts. Depending on the area to be cleaned, we usually use rotary brush and pad machines and water extraction machines. Floor tiles cleaning is something we specialise in. Fireplace and smaller areas are cleaned by hand.

Stain Removal

The removal of stains from stone can be a challenge and there are some deep rooted ones that are not removable.
First of all we aim to find out exactly what caused the stain and when. Then we choose a suitable chemical and poultice material for the task.
Should you have a possible stain incident, the best advice is always to wipe it up as soon as possible using only hot water. The use of bleach, vinegar or lemon etc could damage the stone.

Sealing

To avoid serious staining incidents, we always reccomend your stone should be sealed after cleaning.The product we use gives a hard wearing and durable finish, it also enhances natural colours from within the stone. The method of applying the sealer is very important, we come accross many instances where sealents have previously been applied incorrectly.

Impregnating

Some stone does not bond well with normal sealing products (eg porcelain and ceramics) so we use a treatment called impregnation to form the required protective shield.

Polishing

For a high gloss finish we have a product that contains Acrylic Resin and Co polymers, this can be used on stone such as travertine, terracotta, york stone etc. For a high shine on granite and marble we use a powder and rotary pad system.

Honeing

Sometimes people choose to change their high gloss finish for a more natural dull look, This is called honeing, and we achieve this with a powder and rotary pad system, for your new look dull floor.
