Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a slate area? - Slate | Tile and Grout Cleaning

• A: To measure the size of a slate area, it is recommended to measure each room individually. Begin by measuring the width and length of the room. Multiply the width by the length to calculate the total square meterage. For example, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the calculation would be 3 meters * 2 meters = 6 square meters in total. By measuring each room separately and using the width * length method, you can accurately determine the size of the slate area you wish to assess or have restored.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What steps should I take to prepare my slate floors for cleaning?
• A: To prepare your slate floors for cleaning, it is recommended to move all furniture and items off the floor. This allows the cleaning process to be carried out efficiently and effectively. By removing furniture and items from the slate floor, you create a clear space for the cleaning team to work on, ensuring that the entire surface can be properly cleaned. This preparation step helps to facilitate the cleaning process and ensures that your slate floors receive the attention they need.
• Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing slate floors?
• A: If slate floors are not sealed, they can be susceptible to damage. Any spills that contain oil or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the pores of the slate tiles, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be easily removed using regular domestic cleaning methods. To preserve the natural look and feel of your slate tiles, and to safeguard them against permanent staining and accidental damage, it is highly recommended to seal them. Sealing the slate floors not only helps them maintain their pristine appearance for a longer period but also makes them easier to maintain and clean, providing convenience and peace of mind.

• Q: What measures are taken during the stripping, cleaning, and sealing process to minimize mess and prevent damage to walls or skirting boards?
