Cleaning Slate

These following photos are of a slate floor that I restored in Heybrook Bay, Plymouth, Devon.

My client had had carpet down in her cottage for so many years that she forgot that there was this beautiful stone floor underneath. It was possible the original at 150-200 years old.

There was alot of adhesive, tape and paint on the flooring, So it was up to us to make it look beautiful again. Not a problem... we gave the floor a deep clean and them impregnated it to help protect it. The floor came up beautifully and our client was over the moon.

The photos below show the stages of cleaning, before, during and after. There is also a photo of me, very dirty but very happy.

Marble Polishing

Do you have marble table tops or worktops in your home, restaurant or place of work?

Check out some of my photos below of marble table tops I have restored for clients. The black table was part of a collection of tables I had to do a demo for, for an Italian restaurant in Bristol, England.

The tables had not been looked after for many years, so I got out my grinding pads and set to work grinding and them polishing the stone. Final I put 2 layers of impregnator on the stone to help protect it from drinks spills and food staining.

Impregnator is far better for the stone then sealing it. Impregnator lets the stone breathe fully and does not wear off as seal does. Impregnator soaks into the stone rather then sit on top of the stone.

The last image at the bottom is a white marble table we restored for a domestic client of ours. Again she has had it for many years and not maintaining it properly. So we used out grinding pads on it and polished it.

Our client was over the moon as it had lots of ring marks from drinks and general staining.
