One of my first cleans and seals! The farming family used to keep a Shetland pony in the kitchen and thought the floor was black. They were going to spend £13K on getting a new floor done, but we tested it and made it look good again.

Old Quarry tiles. No DPM and lots of character. This floor was lifeless and filthy. Cleaned with a degreaser, a spot stain remover and sealed with a Colour Intensifier and stainstop. Then buffed over.

Highly polished limestone. I had to remove a white wine mark that had acid etched the polish off (you can see part of it on the left tile - it went all the way across to the right tile too). Basically, using diamond pads after neutralising the mark, the tile was repolished and then sealed with an impregnating sealer for polished surfaces.

Grinding the surface of limestone takes patience, but produces excellent results. The tiles on the right have bitumen, latex and years of kitchen grime. The tiles on the left had the same, but after grinding and diamond polishing. No sealant had been applied. 67 on the Gloss-scale.

Early Victorian tiles that are in a church. Impregnating sealant that was buffed to a low shine. No Gulvpolish or surface sealant used, as it would have peeled off after 6 months due to damp.

Black porcelain that had 'misted' from the wax not being removed before finishing. We cleaned it all off, sealed and polished it.
