Frequently
Asked
Questions
How often should slate be professionally cleaned?
Every 12-18 months, based on use. Our slate Restoration service deep-cleans grout, lifts grit, refreshes sealer, and preserves a natural, luxurious finish across high-traffic areas.
What does slate care cost in Dublin & Leinster?
It depends on area, condition, access, and scope—Cleaning, Sealing, Polishing, Repairs, or Full Diamond Grinding. We provide fixed, written quotes after survey, tailored to premium homes and design projects.
Do my slate floors need sealing? How often?
Yes—every 12–36 months. We use premium penetrating sealers that keep slate looking completely natural while resisting oils, dyes, and spills, lowering maintenance and extending polish longevity.
What’s included in full slate floor restoration?
Full diamond grinding removing top surface and any lippage, deep cleaning, repairs, grout reconditioning or replacing, honing, precision polishing, and penetrating sealing—reviving to a new, elegant finish while respecting the stone’s character.
Will sealing make daily slate care easier?
Yes. Penetrating sealers reduce absorption, so soil & spills sit on the surface longer, making cleaning quicker and safer. They maintain a pure, natural appearance and consistent sheen in high-traffic areas.
