Stone and marble floor care

Stone and marble floor care for commercial premises

Stone and marble floor care is a neutral clean, and where the stone allows it a light polish, for marble, limestone, travertine, slate and similar commercial floors. Lobbies and hotels book it when the stone looks etched or dull. Use the quote form or WhatsApp and name the stone if you know it.

Dull patches, white etch spots and dark joints are the usual complaints. Etch is damage to the polish, so a detergent will not restore a mirror finish on its own.

How it works

Machine cleaning a commercial floor
  1. Look at the floor We check the surface, how soiled it is, and when the room can close, then price the visit from that.
  2. Clean that surface A scrub, extraction or degrease matched to the floor. Dirty water is taken up, not pushed along with a mop.
  3. Finish only if it belongs Polish or seal goes on vinyl and linoleum that need it. Safety floors, worn-through timber and peeling resin do not get a shine coat.

Why book this visit

Marble and limestone that have lost their even reflection.

Retail entrances

Included, and what this visit is not

Included

  • Stone identification before any chemical
  • Neutral clean and full recovery
  • Polish or seal only when that stone accepts it

Not this trade

  • We do not grind lips out of the stone or reset loose slabs
  • Acid descalers are not used on marble or limestone
  • Etch marks from lemon or vinegar may remain as a texture change

Finishes this page covers

  • Marble and limestone, acid-sensitive
  • Granite, more tolerant of a firmer clean
  • Slate and terracotta
  • Terrazzo maintained with a burnish, not a grind

What the quote is based on

Quotes follow square metres, soil, access and whether we work while you are closed. A usual UK guide is about £1.50–£3.50 per m² for a machine scrub, £3–£6 per m² for a deep scrub, and £8–£15 per m² when a vinyl or linoleum floor needs strip and seal. Stone and heavy grease sit at the top of that range. Send the form or WhatsApp for a figure on your floor.

Prep

Keep acid drinks and outdoor salt off the floor before we arrive. Tell us about any impregnating sealer already applied.

Aftercare

Use a stone-neutral cleaner. Vinegar, citric descaler and bleach dull calcium stones. Mats at the door cut the grit that scratches the polish.

How long it lasts

A honed or polished stone floor in a lobby often wants a maintenance polish a few times a year. A deep hone is a heavier job and is quoted separately if the etch is through the surface.

DIY versus a machine

Bathroom limescale products etch marble in one pass. A rotary from a hire shop with the wrong pad can leave swirls you can see under the lights.

Wrong job

This is not tile and cement-grout cleaning with acid, and it is not a new stone floor installation. Epoxy and concrete have their own pages.

Questions

How do I book stone and marble floor care?

Use the quote form or WhatsApp with the floor type, approximate square metres and the hours the area can be empty. We reply with a visit plan and a price.

What changes the price?

Area, how soiled the floor is, the chemistry the surface allows, and out-of-hours access. A small room with a failed finish can cost more per metre than a large floor that only needs a scrub.

How long until people can walk on it?

A scrub-and-dry floor is usually ready when it is dry to the touch. A new seal or polish needs the cure time stated on the quote, often overnight, before furniture or wet shoes go back.

Can our own cleaners do this instead?

Daily mopping keeps loose dust down. It does not pull soil out of grout, safety texture or a worn vinyl finish. If the floor still looks tired after a proper mop, it needs a machine visit.

Can you fix etch marks in marble?

Light dulling often improves with the right polish. Deep etch from acid needs honing, which we quote only if the stone and the site allow it. We will not promise a factory polish on a badly etched slab.
