This simply stunning Victorian tiled hallway in Stoke-on-Trent had a huge array of contaminants absorbed into the clay body, which had until we arrived resisted all cleaning products thrown at it; including brick acid!! Naturally we saw the potential to restore this floor back to its glory and accepted the challenge to scrub this Victorian hall floor back to life.

A relatively new geometric in Leek Staffordshire that had become soiled and stained from a lack of sealing. There was also a large amount of grout haze still left on the tiles, which gave them a dull grey tinge.

A fabulous Victorian tiled hallway in Stafford which had seen years of use, traffic soiling and oil sealing. After thoroughly cleaning the floor and replacing some missing tiles and grout we began sealing the floor against stains. The final process was to polish the floor with a rich satin gloss finish.

A truly wonderful floor over in Stone Staffordshire. The owners had originally found the floor under carpet and over the years worked hard to remove the old adhesive and underlay rubber. Their efforts to maintain this beautiful floor have certainly paid off as there was very little dirt on the floor; compared to the average Minton floor of this age.

A thing of beauty, a truly spectacular display of craftsmanship the likes of which are very rarely seen. Just take a look at those encaustic tiles; absolutely beautiful and the miniatures

Another example of how we can bring out the original colours from a floor. This Newcastle-under-Lyme terrace floor was pretty dirty even though household brands such as Flash had been used on it.

A wonderful floor made from tiles from the Campbell Tile & Brick company. This was a deceptively tough floor to clean, far tougher than the average floor from this age.

Here’s few photos of a floor in Stafford, that we have recently completed. The floor had basically been sealed numerous times with different types of floor varnish, with a sandwich of dirt between each layer of dirt. But with wear the varnish had become scratched and worn and allowed dirt to penetrate the surface.
