When to book our travertine cleaning and restoration service in Leamington Spa
To keep your travertine floor maintained, weekly sweeping and dusting is important. However, you should also arrange semi-regular professional cleaning and polishing. This will increase the travertine floor’s lifespan.
How regularly should you professionally clean your travertine floor?
One of the first things to consider when making this decision is the level of footfall the floor receives. The higher the foot traffic, the more often the floor needs cleaning, This means commercial premises tend to require a professional cleaning more regularly than domestic settings.
If you are considering whether to arrange a professional restoration for your travertine floor, check your floor for these common problems:
● Lifeless and colourless appearance
● Uneven parts of the floor
● Holes and pits in the surface
● Cracks and marks around the tiles
● Mopping fails to change the appearance of the travertine
● The grouting is worn or loose
● The floor has scuffs from building work
● Dirt and scratches don’t come out of the surface

FAQs
No problem! Using specialist filler and a traditional wax method we can colour match fillers on site to help make them look like a natural feature of your tile
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.
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
Every job is different but during the free survey we measure up, do a free demonstration clean to show the results we can achieve, and from this we send over a full proposal for you to browse at your own leisure. We do not give prices on the day or put you under any pressure for an answer there and then
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
Holes in travertine are perfectly natural and are caused by hot springs or gasses passing through the rock. The pits and air pockets can be filled in the factory process, but these can pop out and come away from foot traffic when the tiles are first laid. Also, some travertine is sold unfilled and during the fitting the tiler fixer will float the grout over the whole tile and fill up the holes and pits with grout. This is perfectly fine, however the grout can become stained and discoloured if it isn’t sealed and maintained correctly
