We were approached by Bethany to advise on the options for restoring the limestone floor at a North London project. Working with a high-profile client, Bethany had been asked to renovate the home whilst keeping the structural aspects the same.
“One of the key decisions we made in the project was choosing to restore the limestone flooring that ran throughout the ground floor, staircase and landing. After considering the potential complications that could arise with replacing the floor completely, we decided to bring it back to its original state using a diamond resurfacing and polishing technique. This, along with simply changing the hue of the downlights from warm white to cool white brought the beautiful natural stone back to life.”
As with all projects of this size, we attended the site to provide a sample. For an entrance this grand, a high shine finish on the stone was the perfect option. This required 8 stages of diamond resurfacing to bring the finish back to the perfect level of shine. Special care was taken for the limestone staircase, although partially hidden by the stair runner, a central and most important feature of the project.

Our travertine floor came up like new. Very knowledgeable and efficient staff, a professional service for sure. They were very good with our dog too, always a bonus as she's quite fretful. Thanks Athena Stonecare.
This is a First Class company with First Class staff. they polished the marble in our bathroom and it now looks like new. Their technician Jack was so courteous and professional and his work is tip top. What an excellent find.
Athena Stonecare has been fantastic! We had two circular marks on our marble fireplace caused by a leaking vase and Athena Stonecare has been able to remove these marks and return the fireplace to it's former glory. We are delighted and do fortunate to have found this company
Great company and team. Easy to deal with and discuss requirements. The quality of work and attention to detail is exceptional. I strongly recommend this company.
The professional who inspected the floor was clearly most knowledgeable and he also actioned the work subsequently. A date was agreed and the work was carried out with care and attention and minimum disruption. The floor now looks exactly as it did when initially installed. I have no hesitation recommending Athena Stone and will call them myself when another part of the floor needs refreshing.
Dealing with Athena has been seamless throughout. I have been impressed by Athena’s professionalism and customer focus from the beginning and this applies to everyone involved from reception, to administration to the actual treatment of the floor.
