Limestone Floor Cleaning in Saffron Walden

Art of Clean is privileged to have been asked to restore a limestone floor in Saffron Walden. Our client has used the services of Art of Clean in the past.

The reason that a deep restoration clean was required was due to part of the floor had to be lifted to repair a leaking hot water pipe from the under floor heating system.

The Limestone floor was then laid down and grouted. The tiler who laid the limestone floor tiles in Saffron Walden did not apply a sealer to the tiles prior to grouting and the tiles therefore a had a residual build-up of grout haze on the surface. As the floor could not be treated in any other way that mechanically the grout haze was gently honed off and the surface polished using a special Diamond encrusted pad.

To ensure the limestone floor was sealed as best as possible a Stone soap was used in the process to add more protective properties to the stone.

Once the honing was done, the floor was buffed up to a good shine and 2 coats of impregnator sealer was applied. A final buff of the limestone floor was carries out.

All this work was done while the client left us with full access to his home and he and his wife was on a short break. It is great to have such a trusting relationship with our clients.
