Stone Floor Maintenance

Natural stone floors require regular maintenance to preserve their appearance, durability and long-term value. Even high-quality marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo and granite can lose their shine, develop marks or accumulate residue over time. Stone Guru provides specialist stone floor maintenance services across London, helping both residential and commercial clients keep their floors in excellent condition throughout the year.

Why stone floor maintenance is essential

Stone is a living material that reacts to traffic, moisture, cleaning agents and environmental factors. Without proper care, surfaces can gradually dull, scratch, stain or become uneven in appearance. Routine maintenance prevents small issues from becoming permanent damage and keeps the floor’s finish stable for longer.

Our maintenance service is designed to protect your investment, extend the life of previous restoration work and maintain a clean, well-presented surface suitable for homes, offices, hotels, retail units and other high-traffic spaces.

What our stone floor maintenance includes

1. Professional deep cleaning – We remove dirt, residue, cleaning product build-up and organic marks using stone-safe, pH-balanced solutions. This restores the clarity and natural colour of the stone without damaging its surface.

2. Light honing – For floors that show fine scratches, minor dullness or faint etching, we use gentle diamond abrasives to refresh the surface. This process evens out the finish and prepares the stone for polishing or sealing.

3. Polishing – Depending on the desired look, we can restore the floor to a soft satin sheen or a high-gloss reflective finish. Polishing revitalises worn areas and ensures consistent lighting reflection across the entire surface.

4. Re-sealing – All natural stone requires periodic sealing to protect it from stains, moisture and wear. We apply high-quality impregnating or surface sealers suitable for the stone type and the level of traffic. Re-sealing extends the life of the finish and makes routine cleaning easier.

5. Grout cleaning and restoration – Dirty or stained grout can affect the overall presentation of the floor. We remove discoloration, clean the joints thoroughly and, if necessary, re-colour or re-seal the grout for a fresh, uniform appearance.

Maintenance frequency

The ideal maintenance schedule depends on foot traffic, the type of stone and the location of the floor. Kitchens, hallways, commercial entries and hotel lobbies require more frequent care. Many clients choose quarterly, bi-annual or annual maintenance plans to keep surfaces in optimal condition and avoid costly full restoration work later.

Types of stone we maintain

- Marble - Travertine - Limestone - Granite - Terrazzo - Slate - Engineered stone (where suitable)

Each type is treated with the correct abrasives and cleaning products to respect its structure and finish.

Benefits of professional stone floor maintenance

Regular maintenance preserves the beauty and value of your flooring. It prevents permanent damage from spills, traffic and improper cleaning products, keeps the floor easier to clean and maintains a consistent, elegant appearance. For commercial environments, it supports a clean, professional image and ensures a safer, more predictable surface for daily use.
