You may wonder how regularly your sandstone floor needs a professional deep clean, polish, or seal. This depends on several factors.

TileMaster Belfast’s sandstone restoration process:
Every member of the team at TileMaster Belfast has been carefully trained to restore and clean sandstone floors. We use top-of-the-range floor cleaning machines and our own custom cleaning solutions to achieve the best results. We also use a unique in-house restoration method for restoring sandstone tiles:
- Step 1 – Before we begin the restoration, we assess the floor and discuss finish and seal options with you.
- Step 2 – We remove any furniture and prepare the work area.
- Step 3 – We use our low-tack masking tape on surrounding areas and sensitive surfaces to protect them.
- Step 4 – Once everywhere is protected, we vacuum or sweep to remove any surface dirt.
- Step 5 – We strip any old sealer or previous treatments from the sandstone.
- Step 6 – Power scrubbing and mechanical agitation with a PH-neutral floor cleaner. This deep cleans the sandstone.
- Step 7 – High-power vacuum and freshwater rinse to remove the solution.
- Step 8 – A fresh layer of sandstone will then be brought out using a diamond-tipped brush.
- Step 9 – Speed dry the floor and give it a final buff to remove any remaining footprints. This leaves a clean, mark-free sandstone floor.
- Step 10 – We apply a commercial grade impregnating sealer to protect the finish of the floor and grouting against future wear.
- Step 11 – Optional: Matt or satin wax for a smoother, softer finish.
- Step 12 – Final customer sign-off and inspection. We give advice on the daily and weekly maintenance of the sandstone and provide 6 months worth of complementary cleaner.
