Flagstone Floor Cleaning & Preparation

Gentle Cleaning. Careful Preparation. Lasting Results.

Every great restoration begins with proper preparation.
Before any lime pointing or waxing can take place, each flagstone floor is meticulously cleaned to remove the build-up of dirt, paint, and residues that hide its natural beauty.

Using modern dustless equipment, we remove surface contaminants safely and efficiently — revealing the original tone of the stone without using harsh chemicals or abrasive methods.

Respecting the Fabric of the Building

We understand that every floor — and every home — is unique.
Our cleaning process is designed to protect your building’s structure, maintaining breathability while lifting away centuries of grime.

Whether it’s Blue Lias, Hamstone, or Purbeck, we treat each material with a tailored approach, always preserving its integrity.

A Heritage Approach to Cleaning and Breathability

Dustless Cleaning for a Cleaner Process

Our advanced dustless equipment keeps disruption to an absolute minimum, protecting surrounding rooms and surfaces during every stage of cleaning.

Opening the Stone’s Natural Pores

A gentle water-based wash follows mechanical cleaning, helping the flagstone breathe and preparing it to absorb natural oils evenly.

No Chemicals, No Shortcuts

We never use harsh strippers or solvents. Every method is conservation-safe and designed to preserve the original integrity of your historic flooring.

Perfect Preparation for Restoration

Once cleaned, the stone is stable, breathable, and ready for lime pointing, natural oils, or beeswax finishing - the foundation of a lasting restoration.
