Limestone floor cleaning Daventry

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

We carried out this limestone floor cleaning and sealing in Daventry earlier this year. It was looking a bit dull and lacklustre and a little grubby. Our intensive stripping and deep cleaning process cleaned up the floors and all grout lines really well and then we applied several coats of seal to protect and give a lovely shine.

Marble floor polishing in Oxfordshire

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

This property had recently been purchased by the client and they had been doing some building and renovation works, so getting their marble floors restored was the final job before they fully moved in. They were looking slightly dull, grubby and lack lustre but after our intensive marble cleaning and polishing process they look stunning and it has really elevated the whole area bringing the wow factor into this beautiful home. You can see the clarity and shine to the floor by looking at the reflections and comparing before and after. Our process is dust and mess free. It is a wet process and we work in small, controlled sections extracting up as we go. The floor is gone over multiple times to resurface the stone and bring it up to a high gloss finish. We then finish off by applying an impregnating seal to help protect from spillages etc and facilitate daily maintenance.

Look at the amazing before and after photos of this beautiful domestic marble floor polishing in Oxfordshire!

Marble polishing Oxford

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

This entrance hall marble floor polishing in Oxford was part of a bigger job we carried out for one of our returning clients, consisting of various different floors throughout the house. The beautiful black and white marble chequerboard floor had become grubby, dull and lack lustre following building and renovation works in the house, and needed bringing back to life. First of all we stripped and deep cleaned the floor of all dirt, residues and old seals etc, then we polished it back up to a lovely shine and applied an impregnating seal to protect. There is now much more of a wow factor when walking into the house and the floor is much fresher and the colours greatly enhanced.

The client is over the moon and gave us the following glowing review: “I can highly recommend Floor Restore; a fantastic company! This is our third time using them, the first couple of times were to bring back to life a reclaimed floor that we put into the entire bottom of our house. The effects were transformative, Richard cleaned and then oiled, taking them from dirty and dull to glossy and healthy. Just recently he came to clean and seal bathroom terrazzo tiles and bathroom encaustic tiles. To clean our back hall porcelain tiles and clean and polish marble entrance hall tiles. We’ve had builders in for a year doing renovation works and the tiles have all taken the brunt, now however everything is glistening and looks like new again. Richard and Lucy are a great team, efficient, reliable with great communication and knowledge – you’re in safe hands if you use them!”

Swimming pool floor cleaning Oxfordshire

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

It is not often we get asked to do swimming pool floors, but we were happy for the opportunity to carry out this swimming pool floor cleaning in Banbury. The floors were very grubby as well as having a build up of calcium scale deposits which was very bad in places. We stripped and deep cleaned the floors including all grout lines, and due to the textured tiles a lot of the scale required hand scraping where it could not be fully removed with the machine particularly where the machine couldn’t reach for example around the step handles. We then neutralised it all to finish providing a clean, hygienic, neutral PH floor safe to walk on with bare feet. There are more things to consider working so close to water such as risks of falling in, working with electrical equipment close to water, preventing contaminants from getting in the water etc. We used flood barriers in the section we were working, and ensured that we extracted up the slurry quickly to control the risk of contamination. This worked very effectively, and then we were able to work on the very edge by hand. The pool cover was also on which helped to further protect the pool water. The area consisted of the swimming pool surround, entrance area and 2x changing rooms. It all cleaned up brilliantly and you can see the great before and after photos below.

Here is Richard hard at work. You can see here how he worked up to the flood barrier, and we worked in small sections and extracted up the slurry quickly.

Commercial stone floor clean and seal Oxford

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

This is the Saloon at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire which we completed a while back. It had years of old layers of seal and dirt to strip off to get the floor back to the bare stone and get it all nice and clean before sealing. This is the same type of floor – Portland stone – as the Great Hall which we did previously and also their Orangery which we have done many times before. We did this floor in two halves whilst the Palace was still open to the public, so we were very much an exhibit which many of the public were finding very satisfying and interesting to watch.

Limestone floor cleaning and sealing Oxford

You can see in the before photos below that the limestone floor was very patchy and discoloured, with layers of old seal and dirt.

Below is a section of the floor after we had stripped it back and before sealing. It looked lovely even at this stage as a bare and natural, clean limestone floor but a shiny finish was requested so of course this is what we delivered. We could have used stone polishing processes to create a shine and then applied an impregnating seal, but as this is a high traffic area with the public walking through, they specifically wanted the floor to have a topical seal put on to protect it.

The before/after photos do not do it justice, but there is a great difference and the floors look absolutely stunning! The limestone looks so much brighter and whiter, and the shine gives it the wow factor. Staff commented that they had never seen the floor looking so good!

Palace stone floor cleaning Oxfordshire

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

Limestone cleaning and sealing Oxfordshire

We were asked to restore the Great Hall floor at Blenheim Palace prior to their re-opening to the public. The Palace staff had previously been applying layer upon layer of seal to give a nice shine prior to events etc over 30+ years so the floor had become very built up with old seal with dirt sealed in making the floor look dull, patchy, dirty and discoloured. We unfortunately do not have any good before photos of the whole floor but the below shows some close ups of what it was like.

Stripping back the floor of all the old seal was a real mission and required some pretty intensive stripping and re-surfacing, going over the floor multiple times, and even scraping by hand in places. This took the majority of the time but you can see a real difference in the pictures below to the ones above! The stone looks much brighter and lighter and really brightens up the whole space. We then deep cleaned and neutralised the whole floor before applying several coats of a low sheen topical seal as this was the preferred finish the Palace had requested. It gives a lovely sheen to the floor and a durable, protective coating to allow for easier maintenance and prevent staining etc.

The below photos show the floor half finished and then completed. Restored to its former glory and all clean and hygienic ready for re-opening. It looks gorgeous and the Palace staff are very happy. They had been wanting it done for years so were over the moon that it had finally been done!

We also cleaned and waxed the wood floors in the Long Library, which also look great and I shall blog about this separately.

Ceramic tile and grout cleaning Brackley

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

We completed this ceramic tile and grout floor cleaning in Brackley over a whole weekend including wiping down all of the tiled walls in the bathrooms as well. The office block was having some refurbishment before the company re-located to there. It consisted of a large entrance area, the ladies and gents toilets on 2x floors, a disabled toilet, shower rooms and various storage rooms. The tiles were grubby from the building works including dust and dirt, and also had some surface marks and hard water staining/limescale to remove. With our professional machinery and the appropriate products to scrub and deep clean them, they cleaned up like new! The grout lines were quite grubby and discoloured mainly to the toilets and wash rooms and required scrubbing by hand with a grout brush and the appropriate product throughout. They too cleaned up well.

Here are some before and after images of the floors. Just click and move across each image to see the transformation.

Sandstone floor cleaning Banbury

Floor Restore Oxford Ltd

Another amazing transformation from last week! This sandstone floor had become very discoloured, patchy and grubby looking over the years and was in much need of some TLC to bring it back up to how it should look. We stripped the floor back and deep cleaned it all including to the grout lines, then lightly re-surfaced it to give a more even finish before neutralising and applying 2x coats of an impregnating seal to protect.

The client was extremely pleased with what we had achieved with their floors and here is what they said: “We are absolutely delighted with the way Richard has improved the appearance of our stone floors. Our son-in-law dropped in the other day and said “Have you got a new floor?” So a big thank you to Richard for all his hard work.”

It does indeed look like a different floor and the natural colours and patterns in the stone have been brought out to give a really stunning finish so much better than before!
