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.

Excellent, efficient and courteous service . My marble floor looks new and my bathroom walls look amazing. I’m really pleased with the work and the outcome. It only took one day to complete with minimum disruption. Would definitely recommend and will use again and again.
Dave and his partner fully deserve the five star rating. They did a perfect job, on time and on budget. The pool surround which, after 30 years of lime build-up, looked like mud, now, after Dave has worked his magic, looks beautiful again ,showing all the lovely colouring and striations. It’s a joy to see each morning.
We used Athena to refurbish a 20 year old limestone floor and granite worktops. The floor was very scratched and damaged in a few places, and the granite needed some TLC. David and Terry spent a full day working on both and we're delighted with the results. Its saved us a very expensive and messy job in having the floor replaced. They worked professionally and tidily and gave us some really helpful advice about other stonework we are considering. We would definitely recommend!
"Outstanding results, it’s like having a brand new floor. Dave & his team managed to clean & lighten the 40+ years old sandstones from dark grey to beige. They were so effective, discreet & organised on their 2 days work and very patient with my numerous questions."
We truly appreciate you accommodating this for us on such short notice. You’re just the best team for the job, and your knowledge on the subject is incredible.
I had a double sink marble surround which was in really bad shape, Athena Stonecare got it back to practically new. I’d had a few different companies give me quotes and these guys were the most professional and competitive on their price. Really pleased.
