or call 07796 003 638

Guildford’s housing is varied: Georgian townhouses in the upper town, Victorian terraces threading out from the station, large inter-war semis in Merrow, and newer builds out towards Burpham and Shalford. The floors follow the same pattern. Stone in the older and higher-value properties, original boards under decades of carpet in the Victorian stock, limestone and porcelain tiles in the newer builds. All of them clean up well with the right treatment.

We restore stone floors, sand and refinish wood floors, and deep-clean tile and grout across Guildford and out to the surrounding villages.

Stone restoration is particularly common in Guildford: limestone in period kitchens, marble in entrance hallways, travertine in bathrooms. If the stone looks dull, scratched or stained, a proper professional restoration brings it back to how it looked when it was laid. We come to you, assess the floor, and give you a fixed price in writing before anything is booked.

Natural stone floor restoration and polishing

Stone floors are worth restoring properly. The alternative is replacement, which is expensive and disruptive. We restore all the common stone types found in Guildford properties: limestone, marble, travertine, granite, slate and terrazzo.

The process starts with an assessment: what stone is it, what condition is it in, and what finish do you want? From there we remove old sealer, work the surface back to even, refinish to your chosen sheen level, and apply an impregnating sealer that protects from within. The stone isn’t coated. It’s treated, so it looks and feels right underfoot.

Guildford’s period properties often have limestone kitchen floors that have dulled with foot traffic and cleaning product residue. A proper strip and reseal brings the colour back and makes them much easier to maintain going forward.

Wood floor sanding and refinishing

Guildford’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly in the areas around Addison Road, Wodeland Avenue and down towards Shalford, often have original pine or oak boards that have been under carpet for years. They sand back beautifully and come up as characterful as any new floor.

We sand to bare wood, fill gaps with a sawdust mix matched to the floor’s own colour, detail every edge and corner by hand, and apply the finish that suits your room and lifestyle. We show you the finish options on a test patch first, whether hardwax oil, lacquer or stain, so there are no surprises.

Tile and grout deep cleaning

Tiled floors in kitchens, hallways and conservatories gradually accumulate grime that ordinary mopping can’t reach. The grout darkens, the surface loses its gloss, and the floor looks worn even when the tiles themselves are sound.

We clean using a rotary extraction method, loosening and lifting ingrained dirt before extracting it fully, then seal grout lines and tile surfaces to slow future staining. The result is a floor that’s genuinely clean, not just surface-wiped.

We also carry out sports hall floor restoration for local clubs and schools around Guildford, using the same dust-controlled equipment scaled to a full court.

How floor restoration works in Guildford

The first step is a visit to your Guildford property. We identify the floor type and condition, discuss what you’d like to achieve, and answer any questions. The visit is free and carries no obligation.

The quote follows in writing and covers everything agreed at the site visit. No hidden fees, and no add-ons on the day.

The restoration itself happens on the agreed date. We bring 98% dust-free equipment for wood sanding, protect the surrounding areas throughout, and most Guildford domestic jobs complete in one to three days.

Before we leave, we walk you through care instructions tailored to your specific floor and finish: what to clean it with and what to avoid.

What does floor restoration cost in Guildford?

We quote after a free site visit because the price depends on the floor in front of us, not a rate per square metre.

Stone type and condition set the baseline: limestone needs different equipment to granite, and a lightly-worn floor needs fewer passes than one with deep scratches or etching. Straightforward open rooms are more efficient than tight layouts with fitted furniture. A simple reseal after cleaning is quicker than a full hone and high-gloss polish, and any repairs, such as replacing damaged tiles or lifting and relaying loose stone, add to the scope.

The site visit is free and there’s no obligation to go ahead. We’ll give you the full picture on what the floor needs and what it will cost.

Frequently asked questions about floor restoration in Guildford

My limestone kitchen floor has gone grey and dull. Can it be restored?

Usually yes. The dulling is almost always a combination of stripped sealer, cleaning product residue and surface micro-scratches from foot traffic. A professional clean, hone and reseal strips all of that back and brings the stone’s natural colour back out. We’ll tell you honestly at the site visit whether the floor needs a full restoration or whether a deep clean and reseal is sufficient. Our guide to why stone floors go dull explains what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

How do I know if my Guildford period property has original floorboards under the carpet?

The best way is to lift a corner of the carpet in a discreet spot, by a skirting board or in a cupboard, and see what’s underneath. In most Guildford Victorian and Edwardian properties, there are original pine or oak boards. If you’d rather not disturb the carpet yourself, we can check during the site visit.

Can you match the colour of replacement parquet blocks to the existing floor?

We can get very close. Where blocks need replacing, we source from reclaimed timber suppliers to match species and grade as closely as possible. After sanding, the floor is finished uniformly, which brings everything together. A perfect match isn’t always guaranteed, since wood varies naturally, but the repairs typically disappear into the floor.

Do you cover the villages around Guildford as well as the town itself?

Yes. Our Guildford coverage extends to Merrow, Burpham, Shalford, Peasmarsh, Shackleford, Bramley, Chilworth and the surrounding villages. Travel within the Guildford area doesn’t affect the price.

Is it worth restoring my marble bathroom floor or should I just retile?

Restoration is almost always cheaper than retiling and produces a better result, provided the marble is sound. We assess the stone at the site visit. If it’s scratched, etched or stained, polishing it back and resealing it costs a fraction of replacement and looks better than new marble tile. The only time replacement makes sense is if the marble is cracked through or too badly damaged to sand back.
