Sandstone Floor Cleaning in Frome
Sandstone is a popular choice for flooring indoors and out because it looks natural. It is very durable too, so it is commonly used in high-traffic areas in homes and businesses. Even though the floor can withstand lots of foot traffic, it still needs maintaining because dirt can get trapped in the surface.
At TileMaster Frome we have the experience and professional equipment required to restore your sandstone and yorkstone floors. We are a specialist floor care team and we can achieve the best results at the highest quality. A professional sandstone restoration will keep your floor clean, safe and will protect your investment.
How to tell if your sandstone floor needs cleaning or restoring
Floor tile manufacturers advise that you sweep and dust any tile floor weekly and this includes sandstone. However, to keep the sandstone looking its best semi-regular professional cleaning and polishing is required. This will give the floor a deep clean which will look great and it will extend the life of the floor too.
You may be wondering how regularly your sandstone floor needs a professional deep clean, polish, or seal. This depends on a variety of factors. One of the most important among these that you should consider is how much use the sandstone floor receives. Usually, outdoor flooring and sandstone in commercial premises needs a professional clean more often than low traffic areas inside the home.
There are also several signs of wear and tear that you should be aware of when deciding to book a professional restoration of your sandstone floor. TileMaster Frome can help you identify and fix the following sandstone problems:
- Does your sandstone floor look faded?
- Have you noticed that the colour of the stone is less vibrant?
- Do certain spots on the floor look faded and dull?
- Is the grout loose and dirty?
- Does the sandstone floor look better when it’s wet?
- Does the floor look dirty or scuffed after having building work done?
- Have stubborn marks appeared on the surface of the sandstone?
- Is mopping making no improvement to the floor’s appearance?
- Have you noticed that stains and marks come back even when they’ve been cleaned?
- Would you like to restore a freshly laid finish?

TileMaster Frome’s sandstone restoration process:
Every member of the team at TileMaster Frome 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 restoration process for restoring sandstone tiles:
- Step 1 – Before we start the restoration, we will assess the sandstone floor and discuss finish and seal options with you.
- Step 2 – Then on the day, we will remove any furniture and prepare the room.
- Step 3 – To protect the room we will use our protective low-tack masking tape on the surrounding areas and sensitive surfaces.
- Step 4 – Once everywhere is protected, we will vacuum or sweep the area to remove any surface dirt.
- Step 5 – Next, we will apply our custom TileMaster cleaning agents to remove any old sealer or previous treatments from the sandstone.
- Step 6 – The next step involves power scrubbing and mechanical agitation along with the use of a PH-neutral floor cleaner. This step deep cleans the sandstone and removes built-up layers of grime.
- Step 7 – We will then use a high-power vacuum and freshwater to rinse and remove the solution. The dirty solution will go into our specialist, onboard vacuum tanks
- Step 8 – A fresh layer of sandstone will then be brought to the surface of the floor with a diamond-tipped brush.
- Step 9 – Next, we will speed dry the floor and give it a final buff to tackle any remaining footprints. This step will leave a clean, mark-free sandstone floor.
- Step 10 – To complete the clean we will apply a commercial grade impregnating sealer which protects the finish of the floor. It also guards the grouting against future wear.
- Step 11 – Optional: We can apply a matt or satin wax for a smoother, softer finish. You can skip the wax if you prefer.
- Step 12 – The last step is the customer sign-off and inspection. We will also give advice on the daily and weekly maintenance of the sandstone floor and we will provide 6 months worth of complementary cleaner.

Yes, the floor is fine to use once we leave on the first day. We try to leave protection on the floor in the main traffic way or around the kitchen island, in front of the sink or oven. We normally suggest just not to cook anything like spag bol or curry, however, because the sauce might end up splattering on the floor
