Victorian Marble Floor Restoration Leeds

Victorian Floor Restoration — Wed, 26 May 2010 08:41:00 +0000

A wonderful Victorian marble entrance hall in Leeds that had seen over a 100 years of traffic. The floor had many deep scratches and gouges that had filled with dirt from footfall. Minor scratches from walking dust and grit into the soft Victorian marble tiles had effectively removed the gloss from the surface.

As you can see from the finished result the floor looks much more inviting with the natural colours from the Victorian marble enhanced to the full, a mirror reflective finish and those scratches removed.

Quarry Tile Floor Restoration Leeds

Victorian Floor Restoration — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:34:17 +0000

Here we have three Victorian quarry tiled floors in Leeds that were found beneath cork tiles a few years back. As you can see from the before photos there are a multitude of stains from oils, grease, wax and some water stains from a dogs water bowl. From the colour of the floor it looks as though a cleaning product with a hint of linseed oil has been used to enrich the colours, changing the salmon tiles to a dirt brown colour.

Often when deep cleaning Victorian quarry tiles floors that have seen a lot of traffic, wear and domestic use you unveil marks, stains and often bleached etches that need to be camouflaged as they cannot be removed. This floor had all of the above in numerous areas. The bleached areas are more than likely from the solvent adhesive used to attach the cork tiles or possibly high pH cleaning chemicals.

Firstly we stripped away any accumulation of surface finishes before deep cleaning the whole floor with our biodegradable neutral cleaning products. We achieved a natural low sheen finish by applying our water based breathable impregnating sealer that will provide years of protection to these Victorian quarry tiles.

Minton Floor Cleaning Leeds

Victorian Floor Restoration — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 17:04:41 +0000

A truly gorgeous Minton tiled hallway in Leeds. The Victorian encaustic border tiles are simply divine and really complement the use of strong blues throughout the floor design.

The floor incorporates a few of the more unusual tile shapes within the field design, shapes normally associated with Campbell Tile and Brick catalogue items. We found the floor to be in a really nice condition with just a few chipped areas and a very fine coating of sealing oil which we quickly removed.

The floor was finished with our premium sealers and a satin polish applied so finely it would appear to be glass. A polish so good it is literally years ahead of the competition.
