Natural stone and slate floors are among the most striking and durable flooring choices, valued for their timeless elegance, unique textures, and ability to elevate the atmosphere of any home or business. Each surface is distinct, with variations in colour, texture, and grain that make stone flooring as much a design feature as it is a functional surface. From rustic riven slate to polished limestone, these floors offer beauty that lasts—when maintained correctly.
Unlike smooth or synthetic surfaces, stone and slate floors are highly textured and porous. This means they naturally trap dirt, dust, and spills deep within their crevices, gradually dulling the finish and making them notoriously difficult to clean with standard equipment or household products. Without the right care, protective sealants wear down, leaving the stone vulnerable to stains, scratching, and long-term damage.
At Cleaning Solutions North East, we specialise in restoring stone and slate using manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions, professional equipment, and proven methods. Our process combines deep cleaning with powerful extraction to lift ingrained soil, followed by the careful application of stone-safe sealants to protect against future wear. This ensures your floor is not only beautifully revitalised but also shielded for years to come.
Choosing restoration over replacement is both cost-effective and sustainable. Full removal and reinstallation of natural stone can cost thousands and cause major disruption, whereas professional cleaning and sealing can achieve transformative results in a single visit. Restoration enhances aesthetics, strengthens protection, and extends the lifespan of your investment—making it the smarter, more practical choice.
With over 20 years of expertise, Cleaning Solutions North East is the trusted name across the North East for professional stone and slate floor care. Our advanced techniques, attention to detail, and satisfaction guarantee mean your floors receive the highest standard of treatment—restoring their natural character and ensuring they continue to impress for years to come.

STONE / SLATE RESTORATION
What Are Stone and Slate Floors?
Natural stone floors—such as slate, limestone, granite, travertine, and marble—are prized for their elegance, durability, and timeless charm. Each variety brings its own character, texture, and cleaning considerations, making maintenance more complex than for smoother surfaces. At Cleaning Solutions North East, we understand that the beauty of natural stone lies in its intricacies—and it takes specialist care to preserve its full appeal.
Why Specialist Care Is Essential
Natural stone is porous and textured, which means dirt, grime, and water can easily settle into grooves, crevices, and pores. Using cleaning products with the wrong pH, or abrasive tools, can damage the surface—etching, dulling, or compromising sealants over time. Industry experts across the UK stress the importance of using pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for stone, and relying on mechanical deep cleaning methods rather than DIY solutions .
How We Deliver Professional-Grade Restoration
At Cleaning Solutions North East, we follow a trusted multi-step restoration process:
Inspection & Stone Assessment – We identify the type of stone (siliceous like slate or granitic, or calcareous like marble and limestone), plus the condition of the sealant and level of wear .
Deep Cleaning – We use heavy-duty, pH-neutral stone cleaners to lift ingrained dirt, grease, and wax without etching the surface. Water is carefully applied and extracted to avoid saturation or damage .
Gentle Agitation – Our specialist equipment, such as soft rotary scrubbing, ensures cleaning solutions reach deep textures—without causing scratches or damage, unlike standard mops or abrasives .
Stain & Grout Treatment – For stubborn marks, we use stone-safe poultices or targeted cleaners, plus grout restoration where needed to complement overall restoration .
Sealing & Protection – After deep cleaning, we apply professional-grade sealants tailored for your stone, enhancing resistance to stains, moisture, and wear—often with your choice of finish, from matt to satin .
The Industry Standard — Proven Practice
At Cleaning Solutions North East, we set the benchmark for stone and slate floor restoration across the North East. Our proven process combines detailed assessments, professional-grade cleaning machinery, powerful extraction units, and the correct stone-safe sealants to deliver results that last.

WHAT CAN THIS COST
At Cleaning Solutions North East, we know that natural stone and slate floors are among the most beautiful features in a home or business. But they are also some of the most expensive to replace. Full removal and reinstallation of natural stone can run into thousands of pounds, often involving structural preparation, specialist labour, and days of disruption. Our deep cleaning and restoration service offers a far more cost-effective solution, bringing your floors back to life at a fraction of the cost and without upheaval to your property.
Why Restoration Makes Financial Sense
Stone and slate floors are designed to last a lifetime, but dirt, spills, and everyday foot traffic take their toll. Over time, the surface seal wears down, leaving stone vulnerable to staining, scratching, and dullness. Replacing an entire floor for cosmetic reasons is rarely necessary. Our restoration service—using manufacturer-approved stone cleaners and sealers—removes ingrained dirt, evens out blemishes, and reseals the surface to restore its natural colour, depth, and texture. This process disguises minor imperfections and extends the life of your stone, delaying costly replacement for years.
What You Gain From Professional Restoration
Cost-Effectiveness – Restoration costs hundreds, not thousands, while preserving your original stone.
Minimal Disruption – Most projects are completed in a single day, compared with weeks of building work for replacement.
Longevity – Professional resealing forms a protective barrier, ensuring your floor remains resistant to stains and moisture.
Aesthetics – Natural variations in stone are enhanced, bringing vibrancy and richness back to the surface.
Sustainability – Restoration avoids waste and the environmental cost of quarrying, transporting, and fitting new stone.
Our Professional Approach
With over 20 years of expertise in floor care, we combine technical knowledge with advanced equipment—rotary scrubbers, oscillating brushes, wet extraction, and stone-specific sealing systems. Every floor is individually assessed so we can choose the right cleaning agents, agitation method, and protective finish. Unlike DIY or off-the-shelf solutions, our process penetrates deep into textured surfaces and crevices, delivering a finish that is both beautiful and durable.
Indicative Pricing Guide
Every stone floor is unique, so we provide free tailored quotes based on size, condition, and finish. However, as a guide:
Small Stone Area (up to 15 m²): from £150–£200
Medium Stone Floor (15–30 m²): from £200–£300
Large or High-Traffic Stone Floors: bespoke pricing on inspection
Optional stone sealing and protective finishes can also be applied, ensuring your restored floor continues to look its best long after cleaning.
The Smart Choice for Your Stone Floor
Choosing Cleaning Solutions North East means investing wisely. Instead of costly replacement, you can enjoy floors that look renewed, feel cleaner underfoot, and remain protected for years. With our professional methods, trusted expertise, and satisfaction guarantee, we deliver results that save you money and enhance the natural beauty of your stone.
