limestone polishing Natural Limestone is a beautiful material which is in very popular demand at the moment. Durable and if looked after will last for a long time. Unfortunately most jobs we are called out to are the result of sloppy installation and poor finishing when laying the limestone. All stone, especially limestone needs to be sealed with a high quality impregnator before a job is properly completed. Without proper finishing and sealing the result will be a floor which absorbs dirt and liquids and will be impossible to clean.

Worse still customers are not given or advised on the correct cleaning materials to use on their newly laid limestone floors, and most will use cheap shop bought cleaners or waxes which will not clean deep into the pores of the limestone, causing a dirty appearance which will worsen over time and cause further damage to the limestone's surface. Unfortunately the only way to restore the the limestone to its original appearance is to grind down the surface of the stone and re-polish, revealing a new limestone surface.

In this example to the right, the limestone was stained, dulled and become dirty over a period of time. limestone repair

So how did we restore it?

Firstly we removed the surface of the limestone with diamond abrasives upto a 400 grade. Stains were removed with stain removers and holes were re-filled with coloured epoxy resin mixed to match the colour and tone. Lastly the floors were sealed with a high quality stone sealer / impregnator. This sealer will last upto 8 years atleast. The sealer will ensure for easy maintenance and cleaning, and will prevent stains or dirt penetrating the limestone. It is also important to carry on cleaning the limestone with a high quality stone soap which will deepen the colour and help protect the stone's surface, aswell as clean effectively.

How can you prevent your limestone from becoming dirty, staining, dulling or having to go through an expensive restoration process?

The most important thing you can do is to seal your limestone. This is absolutley vital and can not be recommended enough. It is also important that you seal with a high quality impregnator. Secondly is ensuring you clean with a proper and professional use limestone cleaner, especially designed for Limestone. If you do this, then you will ensure for the longest possible life of your Limestone.

SERVICES WE OFFER

Grinding

Grinding is the process by which the surface of the limestone is sanded by the use of diamond pads to remove the surface of the stone. This process is usually recommended when the Limestone has lips or deep down scratches.

Honing

Honing is the process of smoothing the stone with diamond pads). Honing is performed to remove light scratches but will not remove lippage. Gives an egg shell finish to the surface of the stone..

Polishing

The high shine observed on Limestone, as picture above is the result of finishing with fine diamond pads. Then finishing with powdered polishing chemicals. Leaves a deep down shine.

Crystallization

The crystallization process consists of spraying a liquid onto the Limestone floor and buffing it in with steel wirewool pads. Heat is generated through abrasion using a heavy polishing machine producing a surface shine on the limestone. This will protect the surface of the limestone and add a glossy non slip shine.

Maintenance

In order to keep your Limestone appearance and protect it from staining, scratching and dulling we are able to visit you on regular maintenance basis. Our maintenance visits will help to keep your Limestone looking like new for many years to come and at a fraction of the cost of the first process.
