Stone floor cleaning for new & old quarry tiles

Cornwell Services clean and restore stone floors in modern and period properties. When we restored the historic quarry tile floor in the elegant dining room of a beautiful Georgian property in Hertfordshire, we also provided stone floor cleaning to bring other rooms up to standard. The homeowner was committed to restoring the period features of the property as sensitively as possible and we were very glad to play our part. All but one of the rooms we worked on had original quarry tiles with just one laid with modern quarry tiles. Regardless of age every room needed specialist stone floor cleaning.

Dining room – putting right past mistakes with a quarry tile floor

The extreme age of the quarry tiles had led to them becoming porous, absorbing dirt. Efforts by previous homeowners to protect the tiles with sealants and wax had sealed in dirt and further harmed the condition of the floor. In order to restore the floor, Cornwell stripped it back to the bare quarry tiles and then carefully deep cleaned the floor before applying the correct protective seal. Our specialist floor cleaning process has returned these period quarry tiles to their original colour and charm. It will also protect them against future damage.

Lobby, utility & bathroom – restoring original quarry tile floors

Cleaning the quarry tiles in these rooms was a challenge, even for ourselves! The reason was that as well as a build-up of decades of dirt, these floors hadn’t been protected during renovation works to the property. As a consequence, the historic quarry tiles were covered in new paint spots and builder’s debris. By following our stone floor cleaning process, with the addition of a great deal of careful manual labour to put right what had gone wrong, we restored these wonderful quarry tiled floors to their beautiful best.

The front hall – preserving an historic quarry tile floor

In front entrance hall of the house the quarry tiles were coming to the end of their serviceable life. A good number of the tiles are flaking and breaking down. But the client was content to keep them for as long as practically possible, so with even greater gentleness than usually required we cleaned away decades of dirt with good results.

The side hall – cleaning modern quarry tiles

This room also had a quarry tile floor. But unlike other rooms, the floor was quite newly laid since the original floor was too badly damaged to be restored. Unfortunately, it had also become damaged by building work because it hadn’t been covered during renovations. Again, with thorough quarry tile cleaning, we were able to resolve the issue and restore these tiles to pristine condition.
