Sandstone Floor Cleaners in St Albans
Sandstone and Flagstone floors are notoriously hard-wearing and were the preferred choice of flooring for years. Over time they become heavily soiled with dirt and grime, especially in the recessed riven areas.
We can remove all dirt and contaminants and seal the floor using our premium sealers to get the desired finish.
Whether you prefer to retain the natural, rustic appearance or enhance the tones with a satin or enriched finish, we tailor our sealing options to suit your space.
Our restoration process not only improves the appearance of the stone but also makes future cleaning easier and protects the surface against moisture, staining, and further wear. The result is a floor that looks refreshed, lasts longer, and remains true to its original character.

Why Sandstone and Flagstone Need Deep Restoration
Sandstone and flagstone floors have long been valued for their strength, natural texture, and rustic charm. Commonly found in period homes, farmhouses, and heritage properties, these stones are incredibly durable and can last for generations. However, their rough, riven surfaces and porous nature make them prone to trapping dirt, grime, and moisture over time.
Without regular maintenance, these floors can become heavily soiled, especially in recessed areas where standard cleaning struggles to reach. As a result, the stone’s natural colour and character can become obscured by years of buildup.
Our Sandstone and Flagstone Cleaning & Sealing Service
Our specialist restoration process is designed to revive even the most weathered or heavily soiled sandstone and flagstone floors. Using powerful yet stone-safe cleaning agents, rotary brushes, and deep extraction equipment, we remove all embedded dirt and contaminants from every crevice and surface.
Once fully cleaned and dried, we apply a choice of premium sealers, matte, satin, or enhanced finish, depending on your preference. The result is a beautifully restored floor that retains its natural charm while being easier to maintain and better protected against future wear.

The stone in our living room had darkened badly over time, especially in the riven areas. Ian and his team completely restored it.
They removed the ingrained muck and gave us great sealing options. The end result is a natural, earthy tone that suits the rest of our décor perfectly. First-class service and attention to detail.

The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Ian answered all my questions beforehand and helped us choose a finish that really brought out the stone’s best features.
The cleaning was thorough and clearly done with care. We’ve had several trades in recently, and Ford Tile Restoration have easily been the most professional and tidy team to date. A beautiful result with excellent service.

You’d never guess this was the same floor. Fantastic job on both cleaning and sealing the surface.

Ian and his team did a fantastic job. Our sandstone tiles were heavily stained and dull, but they now look almost brand new.
The results were far better than we expected.

They got into all the tricky riven areas that I could never manage with normal cleaning. It looks brilliant now and is so much easier to maintain.

Ian restored the sandstone floors throughout our lower level, including the hallway and dining room. The job involved removing decades of dirt and old sealer that had discoloured the floor.
The results were amazing — the stone looks lighter, cleaner and more vibrant. Ian was very helpful in explaining our sealing options and gave advice on ongoing care. We’ve had loads of compliments on the floors since. It’s the kind of craftsmanship you really appreciate when you see the end result.

I loved how they approached the job — no rush, just careful attention and the right tools. The flagstones had years of grime and dark patches, and now they’re fresh and evenly coloured again.
Really pleased.

We’d never had professional floor work done before, but I’m glad we went with these guys. They gave honest advice, turned up when they said they would, and did a beautiful job.
Our sandstone now looks rich, textured and vibrant. I was impressed by how much effort they put into it.

I run a small holiday let and needed the entranceway sandstone restored between bookings. Ford Tile Restoration managed to fit me in quickly and did an absolutely brilliant job.
The stone looks fresh and welcoming again. Ian even gave me tips on keeping it in good condition long term. Guests have already commented on how great the floor looks. I’ll definitely use them again for future properties.

We’re restoring an old farmhouse, and the sandstone floors were one of the biggest eyesores. Ian was friendly and professional from the start.
He explained everything, from cleaning to sealing choices, and delivered what he promised. The before and after is unbelievable — warm tones, natural depth and no more ingrained dirt. The house feels lighter and fresher overall. Everyone who visits comments on the floor now. Couldn’t be happier!

We’d tried everything to clean our flagstones but nothing worked until we brought Ford Tile Restoration in. Ian knew exactly what to do, using proper machines and stone-safe products.
The results are far beyond what we expected — rich colour, even tone, and a soft sheen that catches the light beautifully. Our kitchen floor is now one of the highlights of our home. A very worthwhile investment.

We recently renovated an old cottage and discovered some original flagstone floors under the carpet. They were filthy and uneven, but Ian was confident they could be saved.
The transformation was incredible. They now have a beautiful warm tone, and the dirt is completely gone. Ian even managed to preserve the stone’s original character while giving it a cleaner, more defined look. Highly recommended service!

We’d struggled to keep our kitchen flagstones clean for years. Nothing worked until we brought Ford Tile Restoration in.
They used proper machinery and techniques, and now the floor is like new. The matte seal has helped massively with upkeep. Ian took time to explain everything too. Absolutely fantastic job.
