Our Stone Floor Stripping Process
Safe, Effective Removal of Old Sealants, Waxes & Build Up
We begin by inspecting the floor to identify :
Here's how our expert stripping process works
Inspection & Testing
-
The type of stone or tile
-
Existing coatings (e.g wax, acrylic, polymer)
-
Condition of the surface. We then carry out a small test patch to determine the safest and most effective stripping method.
Over time, stone and tile floors can become dull or discoloured due to layers of old sealers, polishes, or wax based coatings. At Masons Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Ltd we offer a professional floor stripping service to restore your floor to its clean, natural state - ready for polishing and resealing.
Application of Stripping Solution
We apply a specialist stripping agent, carefully chosen for your floor type. This breaks down old layers of sealer, wax, or polish without damaging the stone underneath
Agitation Using Rotary Machine
Using low-speed rotary machines with stripping pads, we mechanically agitate the surface to lift and dissolve the old coating. Edges and grout lines are scrubbed by hand.
Rinsing & Neutralisation
We allow the floor to dry fully and inspect it to ensure all build up has been removed. If necessary a second pass is completed.
Your flooring is now ready for a polish and seal

Do i really need to seal my stone floor after cleaning?
We strongly advise sealing your flooring it helps protect your stone from stains, moisture and everyday wear. Without sealing your freshly cleaned and polished floor may quickly absorb spills dirt and oils, especially if its a porous stone like limestone or travertine.
How often should stone floors be resealed?
We generally recommend resealing every 12 months depending on foot traffic, stone type, and previous maintenance. High-traffic areas like kitchens or hallways may need resealing more often.
Can you remove scratches, etch marks, stains or dull spots from stone flooring?
Yes, we use specialist diamond polishing pads and machines to remove scratches, dullness, stains and acid etching. This process restores a smooth, glossy or matte finish depending on your preference.
Whats the difference between polishing and sealing?
Polishing restores the shine and smoothness of the stone. Sealing protects the surface from stains and water absorption.
How long does it take to clean and seal a stone floor?
An average room can usually be cleaned polished and sealed in 4 - 6 hours. Factors like heavy soiling, old seal that needs stripping and size of area will affect timings. We'll always provide a clear time estimate before we begin

No. Our system uses low moisture, dust free equipment. Floors are cleaned and polished using water fed machinery with powerful extraction, keeping the process clean and safe for your home or business.
Can i walk on the floor right after sealing?
We recommend allowing at least 4 hours for light foot traffic and 24 hours before placing furniture or rugs on the floor to ensure the sealer fully cures.
