This Victorian geometric tiled hallway in Walsall had seen some movement over the years with patches of the floor having sunk, others had previously been repaired. We found the floor to have remnants of an old polish, which we needed to remove before any serious cleaning could take place.

Beneath the old varnish in this Walsall hallway lies a fantastic Victorian tiled floor with tiles by Craven Dunnill. Overall the floor was in really nice condition with a few smatterings of character in the form of the odd small oil stain and a couple of small cracks. Our first task was to remove the varnish and get to the dirt below. Restoration details here

There were also numerous points of damage to the property during the cleaning process. Restoration details here

You would be forgiven for thinking the photos below show efflorescence forming on the tiles. But you’d be incorrect. This white bloom is actually the result of someone attempting to restore the floor and not neutralising the detergent Restoration details here
