• Q: Which process can I expect when you arrive to reseal my marble floors?
• A: Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the marble is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer.

• A: You will know it's time to have your marble floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean.
