Terrazzo Floor Cleaning Archives - Staffordshire Tile Doctor

Welcome to my Work History archive where you will find detailed examples of the cleaning and renovation of Terrazzo flooring carried out in Staffordshire

Cleaning and Polishing Terrazzo tiles

Terrazzo is actually the by-product of broken pieces of stone often Marble, Limestone and Granite, which rather than being wasted are set into to a cement screed and poured onto the floor. Then once the screed is set it is grinded to a polish. Because of this we find the best way to maintain Terrazzo is with the use of Burnishing Pads which hone the floor and restore its appearance.

Terrazzo has actually been around for a long time, but mainly became popular in the 1920s when the first electrical grinders showed up on the building sites making the process of polishing much easier. With this new variation of Terrazzo the builder/tiler was able to create new set designs and pieces which fitted perfectly with the demands of the “Roaring Twenties” as the flooring of choice for hotels, railway stations and offices wishing to add that wow factor to a hallway or entrance.

One of the big issues we find with older Travertine floors is cracking due to settlement in the sub floor. These floors are poured in sections so any cracks need to be filled with a matching resin and then cleaned, polished and sealed.

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.

Dawn B, Withington

From my initial contact through to completion the whole process has been dealt with in a friendly and proffesional manner and I am extremely pleased with the work carried out. Thanks Trevor!
Adam F, Newcastle

Very knowledgeable and polite. pleased with results thank you
T O, Rugeley

Very impressed by the prompt service. Trevor worked hard over two days to transform our rather dilapidated slate tiles to a beautifully colourful floor. The only reason I said would only probably recommend Til Doctor to friends & family is because it is early days & I would like to see how it wears over the next few weeks. Not cheap but much cheaper than a new floor! Thank you for your help.
Alayne C, Brewood

We are absolutely delighted with our “new” floor. From the moment Trevor made contact he was professional and knowledgeable. Having made an appointment he arrived on time and delivered an excellent job. He was kind enough to manage around us and our dog. And he had a sense of humour. We shall certainly arrange regular maintenance for our cream limestone floor from now on.
