With tiles by Colin Minton-Campbell, this Victorian geometric floor had seen quite a deal of traffic in the last 100 or so years, with the main thoroughfare showing more wear than the borders. But save for a few loose tiles the floor was nice and intact.

We really are lucky people to be able to work on such great works of art like this fine example of a Minton floor in West Bridgford Nottingham. Considering the floors age, it has weathered really quite well.

Fantastic use of colour in this floor, unfortunately many of the natural clay coloured tiles have dished quite significantly; which the customer plans to replace at a later day.

Here’s a floor that posed a little more of a challenge. Found under carpets by the current owners, covered in paint, contact adhesive, plaster, cement and general dirt. But the finished cleaned floor looks gorgeous.

A few before and after photos of a hallway floor cleaning project in West Bridgford Nottingham. The project included replacing damaged tiles and reaffixing loose original tiles and finally sealing and coating the whole floor. The floor had badly ingrained dirt and grime; even though the current owner cleaned the floor on a regular basis using normal household products.

Just a quick few photos of a floor we recently cleaned in West Bridgford Nottingham. After we stripped off the cement dust and ground in dirt that no amount of normal cleaner would ever touch. We sealed the floor with our own range of colour enhancing sealers plus a satin sheen finish. The after photos show the floor still drying, so there will be some high points yet to dry off.

Here is a small example of cleaning the hallways of West Bridgford Nottingham. Unfortunately the photos haven’t really conveyed the difference between the before and after due to the lack of natural light in the corridor. But we managed to strip away a sizeable amount of dirt and debris. Once dried the floor was given numerous coats of a protective coating that gives a subtle shine and enriches the colours of the tiles.
