We have carefully devised a multi-step process that employs the use of specialized techniques, tools, machinery and products. Each job will vary slightly so it is important to tailor the process to ensure that the best result can be achieved.

It is likely that the concrete flooring will have previous coatings on its surface; this needs to be removed. Our heavy-duty polishing machinery grinds down the surface with diamond abrasives.

This process removes old coatings and uses different grades of abrasives to achieve the desired finish for that particular job. As with other floor restoration work, different clients seek to achieve a range of finish from a highly reflective shine to a silky smooth surface.

The concrete grinding process creates surface dust; these particles are removed with our vacuum system. This allows our skilled operatives to see clearly whilst completing the work, to achieve a superior surface finish and to reduce disruption for our clients.

On discussion with many of our clients we have identified that it is usually the case that individuals feel as though the stone restoration process will cause much more disruption than actually experienced. Whether we are working on domestic or commercial stone cleaning projects we endeavour to ensure the smooth-running of the job.

Alongside our fastidious attitude to in-depth learning we also take the time to offer a professional, friendly and approachable manner.

During the concrete polishing process, cracks and joints are filled and sealed with an epoxy or other rigid filler. Chemical hardeners can be applied to further densify the concrete. As with other stone types, the floor then needs to be fully sealed to ensure its longevity.

Whilst natural stone is used widely throughout homes including flooring, worktops, stairs, fireplaces, bars and sills, the process of restoration demands a stone restoration specialist.

Grout cleaning forms an important part of this process, however, can prove to be the difference between a fair restoration and a great result. Dirty grout lines are unsightly and can instantly be identified.

If your grout is particularly light in colour it is likely that it will discolour more quickly than darker varieties. Dirty grout may be more noticeable than on the tiles as dirt and particles are usually wiped into the slightly recessed grout lines when routinely cleaning.

Grout is a porous material which means that it can often be more of a challenge to clean. It is sometimes considered to be an arduous task if incorrect techniques or products are chosen.

Cleaning grout and the re-colouring of grout offers incredible results. Grout recolouring can offer a guaranteed finish for up to 10 years. For this process to be completed a deep clean of the tiles and grout is needed. An epoxy sealer is then applied to the stained joints, offering a clean, non-porous, long-lasting finish.

Each part of the process needs to be fastidiously appreciated. An in-depth understanding allows us to provide a service that appropriately reflects complexity of our field.

We are able to discuss the services that we offer in further detail; part of our work is to ensure that you are left feeling elated with the results we achieve and confident that you are dealing with a trade specialist. Please call today on 0845 4599941.
