Slate Cleaning & Restoration

---

Many slate surfaces appear permanently dull or discoloured when they are simply heavily contaminated.

Our professional cleaning process removes:

* Built-up dirt and grime

* Grease and cooking residues

* Old sealers and coatings

* Soap and cleaning product build-up

* Environmental contamination

* Organic matter (for external slate)

We use controlled stone-safe cleaning systems designed specifically for slate’s layered structure to ensure no damage occurs during the process.

This stage reveals the true colour and character of the stone beneath years of build-up.

One of slate’s most desirable qualities is its deep, rich colour variation—but this can fade over time.

We offer specialist colour enhancement treatments that:

* Restore natural tonal depth

* Intensify dark and rich finishes

* Highlight texture and grain

* Improve visual consistency

* Enhance natural contrast

This process is particularly effective on darker slate varieties and exterior installations that have weathered over time.

For interior slate surfaces, honing can significantly improve appearance and texture.

Our honing process can:

* Smooth surface irregularities

* Reduce minor scratches

* Improve consistency

* Create a refined matte finish

* Enhance modern interior aesthetics

This is ideal for clients seeking a clean, contemporary slate appearance while maintaining its natural character.

Because slate is naturally layered and porous, sealing is essential for long-term performance.

We apply premium-grade sealers tailored to the specific slate type and location to:

* Protect against staining

* Reduce moisture absorption

* Improve resistance to wear

* Stabilise colour appearance

* Make ongoing maintenance easier

For exterior slate, we also offer enhanced weather-resistant protection systems designed for long-term durability.

Where slate has become damaged, we provide careful restoration solutions including:

* Crack repairs

* Flaking surface stabilisation

* Edge repair

* Tile replacement (if required)

* Re-bedding loose sections

All repairs are carried out with attention to blending and structural integrity to ensure a consistent final appearance.
