Chris came at the weekend and gave me a quote which I was happy with. He finished the work in two days and I was absolutely thrilled with the result. I will not hesitate to have him back.

Chris did a fantastic job of cleaning and helping to restore our Lakeland slate floors. They hadn’t been deep cleaned in over seven years so he tackled this and then sealed them. We’re delighted with the results. We have a few more steps to do - resin has been revealed that was hidden in dirt - but we can tackle this shortly. Chris is very knowledgeable and gave the very old tiles a new lease of life.

Here we have a beautiful Brazilian Slate floor at a lovely country house on the outskirts of Brampton near the Cumbrian border. The owner had maintained the floor well but was slowly losing the battle as the sealer worn off and decided it was time to have the floor deep cleaned and sealed.

A homeowner from Dalston near Carlisle got in touch earlier this year for help with a Chinese Multi-Coloured Slate tiled floor in their kitchen/diner. The sealer had long since worn down and now dirt was getting into the pores of the stone leaving it dull and difficult to clean.

I seldom complete reviews but it was a pleasure to have Chris work on our flagstone floor. This was a key part of our renovation project on a 1890's cottage, with an old dining room being transformed into a modern kitchen, but retaining the cottage's original features.

Chris was going through his busy summer period himself but responded quickly to the initial enquiry. His colleague Alison was also very helpful, and, after both some reshuffling, and the arduous task of a few days work of removing bitumen, as carried out by us, he managed to accommodate us for a few days.

The end result was remarkable. We had also asked for regrouting but the flagstones were first pre-treated and scrubbed meticulously; the floor was then wet vaxed, neutralised and dried, finally sealed and buffed off.

The restorative work done by Chris, unearthing and highlighting the history of the property, was excellent and completed our kitchen project perfectly. He comes highly recommended. Many thanks to both him and to Alison.

The client from Carlisle had been putting off cleaning and sealing their Victorian tiled hallway floor for some time. Having finally decided it was overdue a clean and seal I was asked to pop round and provide a quote for its renovation.

This Oyster Slate tiled floor installed at a property in Grasmere had become dull and uneven in appearance due to ground-in dirt. The floor was subject to heavy foot traffic from a large family and over time the sealer had worn down allowing dirt into the pores of the stone and leaving it looking permanently dull. Unhappy with its appearance the owner requested a thorough clean to restore the natural colour and texture of the slate and then seal the surface to protect it long-term while retaining a natural finish.

A customer from Ulverston was nearing the end of a house refurbishment and got in touch regarding the renovation of a Flagstone floor. A lot of contractors had been through the property and the stone was not looking its best. Happy to assist I arranged to visit the property and provide advice on its restoration.

If you have a Limestone Tiled floor like the one below at a property in the village of Levens then the following article should be of interest. Natural stone floors like Limestone are porous in nature and need to be sealed to prevent dirt from becoming ingrained. In this case the tiles were last sealed eleven years ago and with the sealer now worn away they were becoming increasingly difficult to keep clean and looked dull and heavily worn.
