Victorian tiled floor restoration in Malvern

Victorian tiled floor restored in Malvern

Black and red Victorian tiled floor discovered after lifting carpets in Malvern .

Before

Impermeable coverings (the pre existing carpet and rubber backed underlay) have prevented the natural dissipation of the underfloor moisture ( no substrate damp proof layer in floors of this age ) and produced effervesence (formation of salts on the surface) .

After

The floor has been deep chemically cleaned to remove glue,paint and other unwanted material ; effervescence treated with specialist microporous seal and a few of the tiles replaced from our stocks of Victorian reclaimed tiles; finally the tiles were machine polished burnished .
