Services
Victorian tile restoration
Our Victorian tile restoration service meticulously brings original tiles back to their former glory. Using specialist cleaning techniques, we remove decades of grime and old sealants without damaging the historic surfaces. We carefully repair damaged areas with reproduction tiles made to match the original patterns and colours. The process concludes with protective sealing and natural wax application to preserve the tiles' appearance while maintaining their authentic character.
Pathway restoration
We specialise in restoring Victorian tiled pathways to their original splendour. Our process strengthens sub-bases without complete removal, repairs damaged tiles with custom-cut replacements, and thoroughly cleans surfaces using appropriate chemicals for different stone types. We apply penetrating sealers to protect against weather damage while enhancing the natural colours of both old and new tiles to create a seamless finish that maintains historical authenticity.
Tile cleaning
Our professional tile cleaning service removes ingrained dirt, old waxes, and stains from historic tiles. Using a combination of rotary machines, specialist chemicals, and manual techniques, we clean each tile thoroughly without causing damage. For exterior surfaces, we eliminate mould and lichen growth while preserving the stone's integrity. The process prepares surfaces for sealing and waxing to protect against future staining and deterioration.
Stone sealing
We apply high-quality penetrating sealers to protect restored tiles and stone surfaces. Our colour-enhancing sealers revitalise faded tiles while providing protection against moisture and staining. For exterior applications, we use durable sealants that withstand weather conditions while maintaining the natural appearance of the stone. This crucial final step ensures the longevity of our restoration work.
Waxing services
Our waxing service uses natural blends to protect and enhance restored tiles. We apply multiple coats of beeswax or natural alternatives to create a protective layer that resists wear while maintaining the authentic appearance of Victorian surfaces. This traditional finishing method allows tiles to breathe while preserving their historical character, providing a subtle sheen that improves with age.
