Restoration of a Limestone (Portland Stone) Tiled Kitchen Hallway and Library in Lode, Cambridge.

Restoration Process.

1. We inspect your floor on our arrival, Why? To identify any possible problem areas i.e staining, loose or missing grout and surrounding surfaces sensitive to cleaning solutions and any other areas that need consideration before cleaning commences.
2. We Protect your walls and furniture with our décor wall protector tape, this is used to protect your walls against any over spray from water or chemical. We do how ever can not guarantee there wont be any slight damage to paint work or any sensitive materials in the immediate area of cleaning due to the need to clean right up to the edge.
3. Once your walls and furniture are protected, we will commence with Dry Soil & Sealant Removal. This is the removal of any dry soil/ground in dirt & any previous sealers on the surface of the tile. This is achieved by using our very own chemical from Tile Doctor. It is applied using a pump spray. All Dirt and Chemicals are then extracted and stored on our van using a our high pressured hot water extraction machine which is truck mounted. This allows us to give your floors a deep penetrating clean. All the waste chemical, slurry and dirt are collected & stored in the vans waste tank.
4. Honing, Once the Limestone has had a deep clean, we begin with honing the surface of the tile. We hone the Limestone to remove any defects from spillages or scratches as well as tightening the surface tension of the stone making the surface smooth and less porous. This is achieved by using a rotary machine with Diamond Encrusted pads from Tile Doctor which consist of 4 different grit pads.
5. Rinse, At each stage of Honing the Stone is Rinsed of any chemical and Stone Slurry, Ready for the next stage of Honing.
6. After we have completed the final cleaning stage, we will dry the area of any free standing water and place air movers to speed dry the stone before sealing commences
7. Application of Sealer. We used Tile Doctor Ultra-Seal for this particular tile, it is a Solvent Based Impregnating Sealer which dries neutral. Once the sealer has dried efficiently any excess residue is then buff or with a fine pad.

We were contacted by a Local Building Contractor to clean and seal a Porcelain Tiled Bar/Canteen Area recently Refurbished at Kings College, Cambridge. The Area due to construction work had become heavily soiled and remains of Grout Haze from installation made it difficult to clean.

We began by giving the stone a Deep Clean Using Tile Doctor Pro-Clean with a Black Pad on a Rotary Machine and extracted using our Truck Mounted Hot Water Extraction Machine, We finished the Clean with a Light Acidic Wash using the same procedure as above for extraction.

Once the stone had fully dried an coat of Solvent Based Impregnating Sealer is applied and dries Matt. Any excess sealer is then buffed away.

We were called out to take a look a customers Marble Shower in Isleham, Cambridgeshire which was in a sorry state.

Unfortunately the client attempted to clean the chrome with an unsuitable chemical for Marble, leaving the surface of the tiles badly etched.

Marble is a calcium stone, which is a sensitive stone to anything acidic. you should use a Neutral Tile Cleaner to safely preserve the life of the Stone and remove any standing water to prevent lime scale build up.

To correct these tiles we have had to cut it back using Diamond Blocks followed by Honing the surface to a high standard closing the pores of the stone, Last stage is polishing the surface to get desired sheen.

upon completion we speed dry the areas restored to be able to apply a couple coats of impregnating sealer, this will also help towards ongoing maintenance.
