Initially this beautiful Minton floor in Sutton Coldfield had been restored by another company. Unfortunately the results where not acceptable due to the fact that the polish turned opaque in large areas within a few days of being applied. There were also numerous points of damage to the property during the cleaning process. You'll notice the dent in the skirting below.



As a result the customer asked for the polish to be removed and this is what was left behind.



We know exactly why the polish turned opaque and how it could have been prevented. We also know what the white haze above is and it's not efflorescence.

This is how we left the floor today; clean and with a hard wearing subtle sheen. The moral of the story is: only trust the best!
