A very old quarry tile floor in a cottage in Middleton Warwickshire, that had been seen by many of our competitors who failed to impress or show any degree of expert knowledge, hence we were chosen for the project.

The vinyl tiles that covered the whole floor were securely fixed down using a solvent adhesive, much of this adhesive being used to level out any eroded tile faces. You’ll also notice that moisture has tried to escape from the joints between the vinyl tiles, proof that these unglazed tile floors really do need to breath. Unfortunately as a result the tile faces where damaged by the trapping of said rising moisture. You can also see where the solvent adhesive has bleached the tiles, again a very common problem.

As the floor presented a history of rising moisture / damp problems we chose to us a highly breathable sealer that protects the floor from further staining. While this particular sealer doesn’t enhance the colours that much, the breathability is second to none; which was a very important feature.

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 Stunning Minton tiled floor in Atherstone Warwickshire that had been covered with carpet until exposed by the current owner. We found this Victorian-style floor to have a lot of cement and plaster splatters from careless tradesmen, plus a good dose of paint spray to boot.

The floor with exception of a few chips and cracks was in a really nice condition and as you’ll see this Minton floor really did scrub up nicely.

We’ve been asked a few times what difference our colour enhancing products make, so below you’ll a series of photos which will hopefully explain the difference.
