Sandstone Floor Stripped and Sealed in Windermere

We had been to maintain this Sandstone floor about two years previously at a property in the pretty area of Windermere in the English Lake District. The client had run out of our Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner that we left after completing the job and had started using a standard cleaner instead (a well-known ecological cleaner).

Red Sandstone Kitchen Floor Tiles Renovated in Kirkby Lonsdale

Kitchen Floor Restoration at Sandstone Property Development in West-Surrey

Laid six years ago at a house in Farnham this Sandstone tiled kitchen floor was routinely trampled on by two teenagers, gardening parents and two large dogs.
