This Victorian floor in Alvaston Derby was covered with a smoke screen of old wood varnish was literally draining every ounce of life from the tiles. The problem with varnish is that is designed for covering timber and has a hard time lasting on tiles, usually flaking away in patches. The ingredients stain the lighter coloured tiles and make for a patchy appearance.

Firstly we stripped away the surface varnish before tackling the ingrained dirt. We chose a hard wearing satin gloss finish which not only enhances the Victorian floor tiles but also adds significant protection.

There was an awful lot of oil staining on this Victorian floor restoration project in Blythe Bridge Staffordshire. The floor pattern made good use of some distinctive encaustic tiles along with a good use of colour that lent themselves very well to our colour enhancing sealers.

Our first task was to strip away all the previous coating or sealers, this would allow us to reach the real dirt and staining.

Once the floor was deep cleaned, a breathable impregnating sealer was applied before finally finish off with a hard wearing satin polish; breathable of course.

Plenty of staining from carpet adhesives and rubber underlays are dotted across this wonderful Victorian encaustic tiled hallway in Kettering Northamptonshire. As usual the natural earth coloured tiles are the worst affected by staining from the solvent adhesives, the less porous harder whites, blues and greens have largely avoided the same level of staining. Around the edges there was evidence of plasterers and builders mess ground into the border tiles.

We started the restoration of this Kettering Victorian tiled hallway by first stripping away all traces of polishes, waxes and oils before tackling the stains and dirt contaminants that were ground in.

The floor took on a new light once sealed with our premium breathable polish, which not only helps protect the floor from staining and scratches but also makes for a very low maintenance floor.

A truly beautiful work of art. This original Minton floor in Chesterton Cambridgeshire dating from the 1850′s had a coating of old varnish applied over dirt creating a smoke screen effect that reduced the impact of these beautiful floors and in turn prevented the floor from breathing. The floor consisted of many highly detailed and intricate encaustic tiles along with some larger than the norm fields at 7 1/4″.

The first task was to remove all that horrid varnish that had discoloured, then remove the underlying dirt. We enhanced the colours by using our unique breathable sealers and a satin finish.

These Victorian floor tiles were manufactured Godwin of Hereford and here we see how wonderful they look in the Victorian hallway in Nuneaton Warwickshire. Overall the floor was in a very nice condition with only a few loose tiles that needed re-fixing.

The floor already had an old oil and wax finish which had discoloured overtime; they always do. So this was the first thing to be removed, unfortunately some of the old oil had discoloured in the tile body leaving a few minor stains.

After a thorough deep cleaning of these Victorian floor tiles we sealed them with breathable sealers both of an impregnating and topical type, which not only help protect the tiles from further staining, but also increase their colour depth and make for a much easier cleaning experience.

The outside was also sealed with a hard wearing UV resistant impregnating sealer that enhances the Victorian tile colours whilst protecting them from staining. Naturally this was also a breathable sealer suitable for period tiling.

A very well maintained Victorian encaustic tiled hallway in Burton-Upon-Trent which needed just a few minor repairs along with a deep clean and seal. Over the years the floor had been treated with many different sealers and finishes from famous brands including LTP, HG and Johnson’s and none had produced a satisfaction result.

On closer inspection of the floor it looked as though at one time the Victorian encaustic tiles had been covered by vinyl tiles and the bitumen based adhesive had soaked into some of the more porous tiles.

Using our new vicTex cleaning pads and neutral cleaning products we stripped away the paint, stains and surface contamination before sealing the floor with a breathable satin finish.

A superb Victorian tiled floor within the lovely Glen Garth Hotel,Barrow-In-Furness. The geometric and encaustic floor by Craven Dunnill is simply stunning with a wealth subtle shades, designs and shapes. Found by the current owners beneath carpet, save for a few missing tiles the floor in still in very good condition and definitely a feature to be proud of.

As the floor is well over a 100 years old there are naturally going to be stains that cannot be fully removed and once the floor is fully cleaned sometimes there may be the odd artefact of these stains. This is where the colour enhancing properties of our sealers come into play, by boosting the natural clay colours to camouflage and reduce the appearance of any blemishes left after deep cleaning.

The floor was finished with a hard wearing satin gloss with non-slip properties.

A wonderful example of Victorian geometric tiled flooring by Minton Hollins in West Bridgford Nottingham. Overall the floor was in superb condition; very flat and straight. With only a few missing tiles to replace, this project was focussed on deep cleaning and restoring the colours of natural clay colours.

Firstly we needed to remove any old sealers and coatings from the floor, this would enable us to get to the stains and soiling. After using our neutral cleaning products to thoroughly cleaning the Victorian floor tiles, we added a breathable sealer and polish combination to a sating finish.

This beautiful Victorian hall floor in Ockbrook Derbyshire was full of damp caused by a fitted carpet and underlay preventing any rising moisture from escaping. As a result this trapped moisture has left lots of water marks and various deeply ingrained stains that could not be removed.

Many of the tiles have also been stained with different oils and paint splatters. The floor consists of a mixture of tiles from Victorian tile manufacturers Joseph Hamblet of West Bromwich and The Campbell Tile & Brick company of Stoke.
