Sandstone is a popular choice for flooring outdoors and in because of its natural look. It is very strong too, so it is often used for high-traffic areas. Even though the floor can put up with lots of foot traffic, it still needs professional care because dirt can get trapped in the pitted surface.
At TileMaster Ponteland we have the experience and professional equipment required to restore your sandstone and yorkstone floors. We are experts in floor care and we can achieve the best quality for you. A professional sandstone restoration will mean your floor is clean, safe and your investment is protected.
How to tell if your sandstone floor needs cleaning or restoring in Gosforth?
Floor tile manufacturers suggest that you sweep and dust any tile floor weekly. However, to keep the sandstone looking great its best to arrange semi-regular professional cleaning and polishing. This will deep clean the floor which will look great and will extend the life of the stone.
You may be confused about how regularly your sandstone floor needs a professional deep clean, polish, or seal. This is determined by a variety of factors. One of the most important among these is how much use the sandstone floor gets. Usually, outdoor flooring and sandstone in commercial premises needs a professional clean most often.
There are also several signs of wear that you should be aware of when deciding to book a professional restoration of your sandstone surfaces. TileMaster Ponteland can help you identify and fix the following sandstone problems:
● Does your sandstone floor look dull?
● Have you noticed that the colour of the stone is less bright?
● Is the grout loose?
● Does the sandstone floor look better if it is wet?
● Does the floor look dirty after recent building work?
● Have stubborn marks appeared on the sandstone?
● Is mopping making little improvement to the floor’s appearance?

TileMaster Ponteland’s sandstone restoration process:
Every member of the team at TileMaster Ponteland has been carefully trained to restore and clean sandstone floors. We use top-of-the-range floor cleaning machines and our own TileMaster branded cleaning solutions. To achieve the most impressive results we also use a unique restoration process for restoring sandstone tiles:
● Step 1 – Before we begin the restoration, we will survey the sandstone slabs and discuss finish and seal options with you.
● Step 2 – We will remove any furniture to prepare the area.
● Step 3 – To protect the surroundings we use our protective low-tack masking tape on sensitive surfaces.
● Step 4 – When everywhere is protected, we vacuum or sweep the area to remove surface dirt.
● Step 5 – Next, we will apply our TileMaster cleaning agents to remove old sealer and previous treatments.
● Step 6 – Power scrubbing and mechanical agitation with PH-neutral floor cleaner. This deep cleans the sandstone slabs and removes built-up grime.
● Step 7 – A high-power vacuum and freshwater rinses and removes the solution.
● Step 8 – A fresh layer of sandstone is brought to the surface of the floor with a diamond-tipped brush.
● Step 9 – We speed dry the floor and give it a final buff to remove any remaining footprints. This step will leave behind a clean, mark-free sandstone floor.
● Step 10 – To complete the clean we apply a commercial grade impregnating sealer to protect the finish of the floor. It also guards the grouting against damage.
● Step 11 – We can apply a matt or satin wax for a smoother, softer finish if required.
● Step 12 – Customer sign-off and inspection. We offer advice on daily and weekly maintenance of the floor and we 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
