● Step 4 – To get rid of any soil or dirt from the surface of the floor we sweep and dry vacuum the area.
● Step 5 – We use our custom cleaning agents to remove any old sealer. These products will also remove previous cleaning solutions.
● Step 6 – We use mechanical agitation and a power scrub with a PH-neutral floor cleaner. This deep cleans both the travertine tiles and grout.
● Step 7 – To remove the dirt and cleaning solution, we will use a fresh water rinse with a high-power vacuum.
● Step 8 – Diamond sanding is used to smooth the surface, This step will also tackle any etching or marks.
● Step 9 – Diamond polish will create either a honed, matt, satin, high shine, or mirror finish. You can choose which finish you would like.
● Step 10 – We then speed dry the travertine. Once dry we carry out a final buff to remove any final surface marks.
● Step 11 – The last step of the travertine clean involves a commercial-grade impregnating sealer which protects the grout from spills or stains.

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

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
