or call 07796 003 638

Esher’s housing stock runs from period properties around the common to substantial detacheds in Claygate and Hinchley Wood. Stone floors are the norm in many of these homes: marble in the hallway, limestone in the kitchen, travertine in the bathrooms. These surfaces look extraordinary when properly maintained, and a professional restoration brings back what time and foot traffic gradually takes away.

We restore stone and wood floors throughout Esher and KT10.

Our most frequent Esher enquiries are for marble hallways that have lost their reflectivity, limestone kitchens that have dulled and stained, and wood floors, particularly parquet and wide oak boards, that need sanding and refinishing. We come to you, assess the floor in person, and give you a written fixed price before anything is booked.

Floor restoration services in Esher

Natural stone restoration and marble polishing

Stone floors dull gradually. Foot traffic, cleaning products and spilled liquids strip the sealer and leave microscopic scratches in the surface. The floor looks faded rather than damaged, but professional restoration reverses that.

We work on all stone types found in Esher properties. Marble is polished through a diamond sequence, restoring depth and light-reflectivity progressively. Limestone is cleaned, honed and sealed with an impregnating treatment that repels moisture from within the stone rather than coating the surface. Travertine is assessed for unfilled holes, which are common in many travertine floors, before being honed and sealed.

Every restoration starts with an assessment at the site visit. We’ll tell you honestly what the stone needs and what outcome is realistic. Our guide to marble, limestone and travertine restoration sets out how the process differs for each stone type.

Wood floor sanding and refinishing

Wood floors in Esher properties range from original Victorian and Edwardian boards in the period stock to engineered oak in newer builds. Parquet is also common: herringbone in reception rooms, straight-laid blocks in hallways.

We sand back to clean wood, fill gaps and address loose or damaged boards, and finish to the sheen and tone that works for the room. For Esher’s hallways carrying heavy foot traffic, a hard-wearing lacquer is usually the right recommendation. For sitting rooms and studies, hardwax oil gives a warmer, more natural result.

Tile and grout deep cleaning

Porcelain and ceramic tile floors, particularly in kitchens and utility rooms, develop ingrained grime in grout joints that surface cleaning can’t remove. Our rotary extraction process loosens and lifts the grime before removing it completely, then seals both tile and grout to resist future staining. For Esher’s older properties with original period tiles, we adapt the method to suit.

We also carry out church hall floor restoration for parishes around Esher, working with PCCs to schedule the work around regular bookings.

How floor restoration works in Esher

We start by visiting your Esher home, identifying every floor type and its condition, and discussing the results you want. There’s no charge for the visit.

You then receive the price in writing, with no hidden additions. If multiple floors are involved, we can quote them together or separately.

On the day, we arrive with 98% dust-free equipment, protect all adjacent surfaces, and carry out the work carefully. Stone restoration produces no sanding dust, and wood sanding is captured at source.

When the job is complete, we leave written aftercare notes matched to your floor type and finish. For stone floors, this includes which products to use and which to avoid.

What does floor restoration cost in Esher?

Stone restoration and wood sanding are both quoted after a site visit because the condition of the floor determines the work involved.

Lightly-dulled marble needs fewer diamond passes than etched or heavily scratched stone, and we’ll tell you which category your floor falls into. Larger open areas are quoted for the full scope, while multiple rooms are assessed individually. On wood floors, solid boards can be sanded more freely than engineered, where the wear-layer thickness determines the approach. Premium finishes and stains add cost, and we’ll always give you options.

The site visit is free. The quote is fixed and written. No surprises.

Frequently asked questions about floor restoration in Esher

How often does a marble hallway floor need professional polishing?

For a hallway carrying normal residential traffic, most marble floors benefit from a professional polish every four to seven years. The timeline depends on foot traffic, what footwear is commonly worn, and whether the floor was sealed properly after the last restoration. We can advise at the site visit based on the current condition, and a maintenance reseal every two to three years extends the time between full polishes significantly.

My limestone kitchen floor is stained near the sink and hob. Can those marks be removed?

It depends on the stain type and how long it’s been there. Oil-based stains respond well to professional cleaning with appropriate degreasers. Acid etching from citrus juice, vinegar or some cleaning products leaves a dull mark that requires honing. Rust staining from iron-containing water is treatable with specialist products. We’ll assess each mark at the site visit and tell you honestly what’s removable.

Can you sand and refinish a floor in an Esher property while the house is occupied?

Yes, and most of our Esher work is done in occupied homes. Modern dust-extraction equipment captures the majority of sanding dust at source. We seal off the working area from the rest of the house, tidy at the end of each day, and work room by room in larger properties so you retain the use of most of the house throughout.

Is it better to oil or lacquer a high-traffic hallway?

For a hallway carrying heavy footfall, particularly with outdoor shoes, lacquer is the more durable choice. It forms a hard, protective film on the surface that resists abrasion and can be damp-mopped easily. Hardwax oil gives a more natural, matte appearance and is easier to spot-repair when scratched, but needs re-oiling more frequently in high-traffic areas. We’ll show you both on a test patch and give you an honest recommendation based on how your hallway is used.

Do you restore floors in flats and apartments as well as houses?

Yes. We work in Esher flats and apartments as well as houses. The main consideration in flats is noise and neighbour relations during the sanding stage. We can discuss timing at the site visit to minimise disruption to neighbours.
