Limestone Tile Cleaning and Polishing Archives

Welcome to my Work History archive where you will find detailed examples of the cleaning and renovation of Limestone tiles carried out in East London

Cleaning and Renovating Limestone tiles

Limestone is a sedimentary stone, as such it’s generally very porous and acid sensitive and can be damaged through the use of even mildly acidic soaps, shampoos and body washes. Because of this we do not recommend it for use in wet rooms, shower cubicles or near swimming pools.

Like any stone Limestone needs to be sealed to prevent dirt becoming ingrained in its pores and many varieties including Blue Lias, Blue Moleanos, Jerusalem and White Moleanos to name a few can be polished to a high shine using a series of burnishing pads.

We have found that Black Limestone has become very popular in gardens where it contrasts well against green planting and looks fantastic when wet. One issue we find however is it easily upset by the use of acidic patio cleaners that leave the stone looking dull and lifeless. If this has affected you then not to worry we do have a way of restoring the beauty of the stone back to its original condition.

Below you will find detailed examples of work we have carried out in the past, it should give you some idea of what’s involved and what can be achieved with the right techniques and products.

Very quick & efficient service which left my shower looking almost new.
Louise S, Hampton Hill

We were pleased with the prompt response and the helpful approach to solving some problem stains on our terracotta tiles. Happy to recommend service to others.
James G, Twickenham

Great service. Jon is a true professional who really knows his trade and he works very hard. He is also excellent with customers. Absolute recommend from a customer who demands high standards. Jon exceeded ex ectations. Money very well spent.
Jim D, Cobham

Jon’s work on our very old and very grimy floor was excellent – it feels as thought we have a brand new kitchen! Many thanks!
Marianne C, Twickenham

I didn’t get to meet Jon in person but through the conversations we had on the phone I knew he was a professional. I emailed photos of the problem tiles and he responded very quickly with details of what nee ed to be done. I trusted him to let himself into my property and work his ‘magic’, which he certainly did. No sign of stains on bathroom tiles, and the big chip, spider looking crack in kitchen completely removed. I would recommend Jon for any tiling job. I am very fussy, I border on OCD when it comes to cleaning etc, but am more than happy with the work carried out. Excellent job- huge thanks to Jon.

We are very pleased with the work that Jon carried out on our limestone floor to restore it to its natural state. He was a very pleasant guy to work with and we would certainly use his expertise in the future.
Jill R, Kingston Upon Thames

Jonathan remembered that he visited us 8 years ago! He answered my texts quickly and gave lots of information about what he was doing and what we should do afterwards. It was a pleasure having him in the house, and it was also nice to get a little discount (due to quick drying weather) as the procedure IS expensive, although at the same time, I know that it completely transforms the floor. I hope we will see Jonathan again in a few years’ time!
Lesley G, Richmond

Fabulous, delighted with the whole process from first contact through your website, Jonathan’s proactive first consultation and honest assessment, a fair price, and an outstanding result. We’re delighted and would recommend wholeheartedly. Many thanks.
Damion T, Hampton

I am happy with the result. Jon worked very hard at removing several coats of paint to reveal the original tiles. I haven’t got the free bottle of cleaner but that’s probably because I stopped Jon returning to put the plant back on the doorstep. Thank you.
