We will remove dirt and debris, buff out surface marks and scratches and reapply protective sealant, giving it a wonderful new shine and making it easier to keep your tiles and grout clean.
How to tell your limestone needs cleaning or restoration
Most tile manufacturers recommend weekly sweeping and dusting of the floor, with semi-regular professional cleaning and polishing to extend the floor’s lifespan. How often you should professionally clean, polish and seal your limestone floor depends on how much foot traffic it receives, and because of this businesses tend to need this type of maintenance more often than homes.
There are a number of things to look out for when deciding to book a professional restoration of your limestone. Your local TileMaster professional can help diagnose and resolve the following tile and grout care problems:
- Has your limestone flooring become dull and lifeless?
- Has your floor recently been laid and left with uneven tiles with sharp edges?
- Has the grout become worn and tired looking?
- Have the builders or tradesmen left the floor dusty and patchy?
- Are you fed up of mopping the floor for it to quickly lose its lustre after it dries?
- Are there marks and stains that your constantly mop that always come back
- Has it become scratched and dirty, with no amount of mopping or products making a difference?
- Does your limestone floor have dull spots
- Are you looking to bring back that wonderful, just laid finish?

FAQs
Yes, we can use aggressive diamond tooling to remove the lips or sharp edges. Once the floor is flat we can smooth out the floor and bring back the wonderful polished finish
Scratches, scuff marks and damage on the floor can be removed if they are surface-level and in the dressing. Deeper scratches on the surface may require a more intensive process to use diamond pads to repair the scratch.
We are happy to give a ballpark figure from pictures and room sizes, as this can help customer budgeting on renovation projects if they are unsure whether to restore or replace, but ultimately we would need to carry out a full survey and demo before any work can take place.
Yes, we are always happy to call out and offer a free demo clean. Not only does this give you, the customer, a good indication of the results we can achieve, it also allows us to quote for the floor correctly, as we know the process required to achieve those results.
Normally the floor needs around 4 hours to dry. If we are only sealing the grout, the floor is fine for socks and slippers after 1 hour, but depending on the porosity of the tiles, room temperature and other factors, the floor can take longer to dry.
Every job is different, due to furniture, size of area and treatments required but during the free survey & demo we will give you an estimate of time. For example, we recently completed a deep clean and sealed a marble floor of 40sqm in 1.5 days
I was recommended to TileMaster through a third party and got in touch with them. I found them to be ultra professional in every way. They attended the property in order to give me a quote on the project within 24 hours and delivered the quote to me the same day. They are all genuinely very easy to deal with, polite and are a friendly team of people to undertake your project for you. Their communication was excellent and the quality of their workmanship was of an exceptionally high standard. I am very happy to give them a high recommendation and will use them on any future projects without hesitation.
We are looking for a quote to mill, clean and seal a flag stone floor. 12sqm please.
Many thanks,
