Limestone is a popular choice of flooring due to its smart finish and because it can endure high footfall. Limestone needs to be professionally sealed and maintained to make sure it stays durable and to avoid damage.

Our team will clean the dirt from the floor, remove scratches and other surface marks, reapply protective sealant and the floor will look stunning once more. When the clean is complete your limestone floor will look freshly laid and you will discover that it is easier to keep both the limestone and grouting clean.
How to tell if your limestone flooring needs restoring or cleaning in Newcastle
Generally, the manufacturers of limestone floors advise that you sweep and dust every week. To make the floor last as long as possible you should book a professional clean and polish periodically. Commercial limestone floors need deep cleaning more often than the floors used in homes because of the higher levels of use.
Even though limestone is tough, it can be damaged easily by drops and scrapes. There are many things to look out for when checking the floor to help you decide whether it is time to arrange a professional clean or restoration. The TileMaster Ponteland team can help you spot problems with the limestone and offer solutions to fix them. Some of these issues include:
● Does your limestone flooring look faded?
● Has the limestone lost its lustre?
● Have you noticed colourless spots on the floor?
● Are there uneven tiles or sharp dangerous edges due to a poorly fitted floor?
● Does the grout look old, worn and faded?
● Have you noticed that the floors look better damp?
● Are your floors dirty due to recent building work?
● Have you noticed stubborn marks and scuffs that can’t be polished out?
● Do you miss the like-new shine?

TileMaster Ponteland Limestone Floor Restoration Silver Package
● Step 1 – The process begins with an assessment of the limestone floor and we discuss finish and seal options.
● Step 2 – We prepare the area by clearing the furniture and other obstacles.
● Step 3 – When the furniture is clear we apply masking tape to surrounding areas and sensitive surfaces. We use low-tack masking and protection tapes.
● Step 4 – Next, we sweep & vacuum the area to get rid of surface dirt and grit.
● Step 5 – We begin the clean by applying custom cleaning agents to the limestone. These products will remove any old sealer and previous treatments.
● Step 6 – We use mechanical agitation and a power scrub to deep clean the floor. We use a PH-neutral floor cleaner. This cleaner removes years of dirt build-up and grime from the limestone tiles and the grout.
● Step 7 – We use a fresh water rinse and high power vacuum to remove the dirt.
● Step 8 – To get rid of surface scratches and scuffs we use diamond sanding.
● Step 9 – We diamond polish to achieve either a mirror finish, honed, matt, high shine, or satin finish.
● Step 10 – Next, we speed dry the floor and carry out a final buff. This stage will remove any final surface footprints. The floor will look stunning and be free of blemishes.
● Step 11 – To complete the clean we use a commercial-grade sealer. This protects the limestone and grout from spills and stains.
● Step 12 – Finally, we ask the customer to inspect the floor and, if satisfied, it will be signed off. We leave you with advice on the daily and weekly maintenance of limestone. 6 months worth of floor cleaner will also be given to you for free.

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
