Job History
This York Stone kitchen floor was laid and installed over 9 years ago. After all the years of use and food spillages, the floor had turned very dark and lost all the natural colour. While the customer had tried using the of the shelf cleaners it still hadn’t made any change. That is when TileMaster Stockport was called and brought all the life back into this beautiful floor and made it look reborn.
Client Requirements
The customer required the following from the contractor
1) The natural look and texture of the tile keeping
2) Removal of all dirt and stains
3) A water proofing sealer to prevent staining.
4) Protection from oil around the oven area
5) A seal that create no shine
Tile Master Specification
TileMaster Number 3 is mixed with water at dilution rate of 1:3, it is applied and agitated with the Conan machine using the Winnex Brush allowing it to enough time to get into all the low spots where heaving soiling had been set, then extracted
Tile Master All in One Water based Sealer is a deep penetration water based sealer offer excellent stain protection against both oil and water. As the whole Kitchen is used everyday by the whole family, the client agreed that oil and water protection was required all over. Leaving the whole area natural and well protected for years to come.

We have smooth York stone in a modern hallway which is dirty and stained. How best could I strip it and seal it myself in these times of staying at home? It was originally sealed with Blockseal Acrylic (water based). I did attempt to strip it with Litholin a few years ago, but the results were not very good and it was hours of work!.
HI Caroline
many thanks for your comment. Yes we offer 2 products for stripping. 1 is waterbased and the other in a very strong solvent-based stripper.
For waterbased acrylic, we normally find our Water-based stripper does the job. It is called TM stripper and can be applied down as left for 10 – 15mins to dwell and this will start to break down the current surface sealer. If you want some further advice, please feel free to email us a picture and I can advise better from that.
