Victorian Minton Floor Restoration Royston Hertfordshire

This wonderful Victorian geometric floor in Royston, Hertfordshire was covered with an ageing shellac varnish that was cracked and flaking. The old varnish was acting as a smoke screen, obscuring the wonderful colours contained within the floor, giving the floor a continually dirty appearance.

Our first task was to remove the shellac varnish from the Victorian floor tiles with our Eco-friendly stripper containing natural plant extracts. Then came the thorough deep cleaning of the floor.

The finish applied to the floor is a hard wearing breathable satin gloss exclusive to Carr Restoration, which as you see really brings out the natural clay colours.

Now the floor not only looks superb but is also very easy to maintain.

A delightful Victorian floor in Peterborough that needed our restoration services to look its best. The Victorian floor tiles where originally manufactured by Craven Dunnill and as you can see the floor consists of a varied colour palette and a range of geometric patterns.

Overall the floor was in very good condition and only required the replacement of two victorian handmade tiles and of course our restorative cleaning and sealing service which always brings the life back into these works of art.

The finished restoration shows a satin gloss finish that is very hard wearing and breathable.

Whilst in an overall great condition this Victorian geometric tiled floor in Coalville had a few loose tiles that needed to be re-fixed. The loosening of the tiles was caused by vibration between the solid substrate beneath the tiles and the suspended timber floor in the next room.

There was plenty of ground-in dirt from years of use that needed to be removed with our eco-friendly restoration chemicals. The restored floor boasts a hard wearing satin gloss finish that is remarkably easy to look after.

This floor in Darlington consists of both an original Victorian tiled vestibule and a hallway laid with modern replicas. The house had been subject to a serious fire, as such the floor had become ingrained with carbon deposits and then dirt from the repair work that needed to be undertaken by the builders.

We were able to strip out the ingrained carbon without any problems from the main hallway, the oil staining in the vestibule refused to budge as they had soaked so far into the tiles.

The hallway tiles were treated to our hard wearing satin gloss finish; the vestibule a matt highly breathable sealer.

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.

Here we have a Victorian floor in a famous period property in Budby Nottinghamshire which was in serious need of restoration. Having been trapped beneath carpet for the many years the tiles had become ingrained with dirt, the carpet adhesive had welded itself to the tiles and plenty of paints had soaked into the tile body.

We also had to replace a considerable amount of damaged and missing tiles from our stocks of reclaimed tiles.

Using our eco-friendly cleaning process we were able to strip away pretty much all of the contaminants found allowing us to seal the floor with a hard wearing breathable satin finish.

This Victorian tiled hallway in Ely Cambridgeshire was full character locked beneath layers of dirt, glazed with old shellac varnish. Over the years dirt had become entrapped by different oil finishes that had been applied, the largest majority where removed by our eco friendly chemicals; some had soak too far into the tile body. After we stripped away the varnish it was the task of deep cleaning the floor and removing traces of cementitious haze and paint splatters.

Restored by Dave Carr and Kellie from Carr Restoration using our own branded restoration chemicals and sealers. The floor finish used was a hard wearing breathable satin gloss that is easily maintained with our ‘Carr Care’ maintainer product and recoated using ‘Carr Finish’

Here we have two Victorian floors in Chesterfield that we have restored, a quarry tiled kitchen area and a geometric Victorian hallway with tiles by Campbell Tile & Brick.

Firstly the Victorian geometric floor required a lot of work, there were literally hundreds of loose tiles that needed reaffixing, this would have been a much simpler process if the floor hadn’t seen so much movement over the years, as a result the floor was very uneven; very hard to match the different floor levels.

The quarry tiled kitchen floor required a really deep clean to remove a very heavy build up of old sealers that had trapped dirt between the layers, the sealer created a smoke screen effect over the floor.

A Victorian hallway tiled in a basket weave pattern of Minton Hollins tiles in Solihull West Midlands, overall the floor was in a nice solid condition with the odd character crack here and there. We reaffixed any loose tiles that were found before the cleaning process was started.

As you may see from the ‘before’ photos the floor was heavily stained with old oils, bitumen, solvent carpet adhesive and finally red paint. This was definitely a challenge, but a challenge we rose to.

Using our range of Victorian restoration chemicals we were able remove all but the most soaked in stains; remember these stains have been there 50 plus years. We then thoroughly sealed the tiled hallway with a colour enhancing satin sealer which not allows the floor to breath but also helps protect the floor from further staining.

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.
