Slate floor restoration is quite intricate. There are products and techniques that you may use on other stone floors that are not appropriate for slate tiles. This is the kind of knowledge that you build with experience in professionally restoring stone floors.
Different types of stone floors benefit from different products or techniques. It is important that we get the best results for our clients and this means drawing on this knowledge. As well as the individual intricacies of the stone, there are also different issues relating to their wear. Stone flooring in kitchen and utility areas are likely to experience damage through water marks.
Due to slate’s make-up, you are not able to polish slate tiles with stone polishing machinery. The old finishes and dirt require specialist cleaning agents. These draw out dirt and grime and leave the natural stone ready for its new finish.
This beautiful slate floor looked almost unrecognisable. Our clients were so pleased with the results we achieved.
Here are some recent testimonials from other valued clients:
“To say I am happy with Mark at Stonecare’s specialist treatment of the floor on my new home is an understatement to say the least. When you work with truly professional skilled tradesmen like Mark it makes you feel good because there are a lot of chancers out there and stone floors can be ruined very easy with the wrong care. Mark is a true professional and I will be recommending without hesitation. My floors look better than brand new. Thanks again Mark”
“Mark did a marvellous job restoring our almost white limestone floor which runs through the house from the front door to the back door over the hallway and kitchen/diner. The floor now looks as good as the day it was laid some 15years ago. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MCS to anyone who needs to have their stone floor cleaned and restored. How lovely to be happy with our floor once more. Thanks Mark.”
