The ongoing maintenance of natural stone is important. Not only so that it always looks at its best, but also to help ensure the longevity of the surface. In high traffic areas, the continued abrasion from footfall will start to have an impact. It won’t necessarily wear away the existing sealant, but will open up new capillaries in the stone which will be unsealed. This leave the stone vulnerable to staining.
For lighter coloured stones, the dirt and dust that is carried into the home will also start to dull the surface. Investing in a regular maintenance programme will rejuvenate the surface of the stone as well as sealing the internal structure to make sure that it will last forever.
Our client has a regular treatment with Athena Stonecare once a year. During the visit, the limestone is firstly deep cleaned using high alkaline cleaning compounds. This removes that initial layer of dirt that has built up over the year. Following this, the surface is gently buffed with diamond pads in order to enhance the shine on the stone before it is sealed with an impregnator.
Easy process to quote and book. Our limestone floor had been down for 7 years and grout was "looking tired." We had a team of three working on site for a morning. Very polite and tidy and left the floor looking like new.
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.
