You would be forgiven for thinking the photos below show efflorescence forming on the tiles. But you’d be incorrect. This white bloom is actually the result of someone attempting to restore the floor and not neutralising the detergent

Floor restoration Higham Ferrers Northamptonshire

Floor restoration Higham Ferrers Northamptonshire
This job had a few problems and limitations that we needed to overcome from the start. Firstly the hallway was initially over-tiled with ceramic tiles and as a result the old cement adhesive needed to be removed from the original tiles.

Victims of our own success

Unfortunately due to excessive amounts of new enquiries, pre-planned work and long term contracts, we are having to reduce our coverage radius in order to continue providing the highest quality service available. By doing this it will allow us far more time to concentrate on the floors and less on the time travelling to the floor.

Fantastic use of colour in this floor, unfortunately many of the natural clay coloured tiles have dished quite significantly; which the customer plans to replace at a later day.

Victorian Floor Restoration The Park Nottingham

minton tile cleaning the park
What an amazing floor this is. Located in one of the more salubrious areas of the park in Nottingham; it really is a gem. How often do you find a floor with as many encaustic tiles as this? Very few to be honest and considering the floors excellent condition, it is all the more rare.

The finish is a subtle sheen that gently enhances the overall colour and reduces cleaning time by providing a hard wearing coating on top of the tiles.Click here to see photos or read more!

Edwardian Tile Restoration Badsey Worcestershire

badsey floor tile restoration
For this floor we had to hand cut a range of different sized tiles to repair and area which hand been concreted over when the plumbers had finished installing heating pipes. Once we removed the old concrete and strips of angle bead used to strengthen the concrete, we neatly cut back the existing mortar bed and prepared the area for refilling with a highly flexible self levelling compound. As you’ll see from the photos the floor looks much improved, even though the ‘after’ photos show the cleaned floor in between coats of sealer, the finished article was a much more consistent finish.

Further Investment

In order to cope with very high demand for our services we’ve had to invest heavily in yet more new machinery and chemical development. This was something we always had planned into our business plan; we’ve just had to bring it forward a little.

Victorian Floor Restoration Stafford

minton floor cleaning stafford
Here’s few photos of a floor in Stafford, that we have recently completed. The floor had basically been sealed numerous times with different types of floor varnish, with a sandwich of dirt between each layer of dirt. But with wear the varnish had become scratched and worn and allowed dirt to penetrate the surface.Click here to see photos or read more!

Where has the grout gone?

Where’s all the grout gone? In the case of Victorian tiled floors you’ll find that there was never a real grout, more the use of a cement slurry or the actual mortar material was used. Click here to see photos or read more!

A few before and after photos of a hallway floor cleaning project in West Bridgford Nottingham.

Victorian Tile Cleaning Nottingham

Just a quick few photos of a floor we recently cleaned in West Bridgford Nottingham. After we stripped off the cement dust and ground in dirt that no amount of normal cleaner would ever touch. We sealed the floor with our own range of colour enhancing sealers plus a satin sheen finish. The after photos show the floor still drying, so there will be some high points yet to dry off.Click here to see photos or read more!

Is your Victorian floor protected?

When we have inspected floors cleaned by other companies, namely carpet cleaning companies. We have found that these use a cheap topical coating as its sole stain protection. A coating that will wear down with foot traffic and with some stronger cleaning products, allowing dirt, water and stains back into the tile body. It takes us literally seconds to remove these products when cleaning.Click here to see photos or read more!

Victorian Floor Restoration Nottingham

Here is a small example of cleaning the hallways of West Bridgford Nottingham. Unfortunately the photos haven’t really conveyed the difference between the before and after due to the lack of natural light in the corridor. But we managed to strip away a sizeable amount of dirt and debris. Once dried the floor was given numerous coats of a protective coating that gives a subtle shine and enriches the colours of the tiles.Click here to see photos or read more!

Cleaning minton victorian tiles

When it comes to cleaning Victorian tile floors with tiles manufactured by the likes of Minton, Campbell or Maw. There are a few considerations to take into account, as it’s not as simple as quickly applying a coat of flash or even worse cilit bang and leaving to dry. Far from it!

How clean is clean?

We often use a prop to demonstrate how clean we can get the customers tiles, or if possible a decent sized test square. The sample below had already been cleaned with general household cleaners prior to us using our specialist cleaners and was originally designed as a speed test, to compare our products against current brand leaders; cleaning took less than a minute to complete then left to dry.Click here to see photos or read more!

Victorian Floor Tiles Coming Loose?

We’ve recently started work on a lovely geometric floor laid approximately 1904. What was immediately apparent was the tiles had raised into a hump in the centre of the floor. This is always a cause for concern as it’s far more than a simple case of tile de-bonding, here we have an adhesive bed that has separated from the original concrete base.Click here to see photos or read more!
