Stone Fireplace Cleaning & Restoration in Hampshire

Marble, Limestone, Travertine & Slate Fireplace Specialists

A stone fireplace is often the centrepiece of a living room — but over time, soot, smoke, scorch marks, heat exposure and general use can dull the appearance of even the most beautiful stone. At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, we specialise in cleaning, restoring and polishing stone fireplaces across Hampshire, using professional-grade techniques to safely bring them back to life.


Whether your fireplace is marble, limestone, travertine, sandstone, slate, granite or engineered stone, we have the expertise and equipment to restore its natural beauty.



All work is carried out by Richard and Michelle, ensuring high-quality, careful and fully trained service in your home.

Our Fireplace Stone Services

1. Stone Fireplace Deep Cleaning

Fireplaces accumulate:

  • Soot
  • Smoke residue
  • Grease spots
  • Ash staining
  • Discolouration from heat

Our deep-cleaning system includes:

  • Dry extraction of loose soot
  • Application of specialist stone-safe alkaline cleaners
  • Mechanical agitation using brushes or oscillating tools
  • Heat-stain removal techniques
  • Neutralisation & final wipe-down

Safe for marble, limestone, travertine, sandstone, slate and granite.

2. Soot & Smoke Stain Removal

Fireplace surrounds are highly prone to:

  • Black soot staining
  • Yellow smoke discolouration
  • Heat marks
  • Burn deposits

We use controlled cleaning agents and restoration techniques designed to eliminate these stains without harming the stone surface.

3. Diamond Honing & Polishing

For dull, etched or worn stone, we use professional diamond abrasives to restore the finish:

  • Honing to remove surface damage
  • Polishing for a satin or high-gloss finish
  • Resurfacing for heavily marked areas
  • Precision hand-work for curved or delicate detailing

Suitable for marble, travertine and limestone fireplaces.

4. Repairing Chips, Scratches & Damage

Fireplaces often suffer accidental damage from:

  • Logs
  • Hearth tools
  • Heat exposure
  • Impact
  • General wear

We repair:

  • Chips and pits
  • Surface scratches
  • Small cracks
  • Flaked edges
  • Missing or failed filler

Using colour-matched resins and fillers for seamless results.

5. Sealing & Protection

To help prevent future staining, we apply:

  • Penetrating stone sealers
  • Heat-resistant protection
  • Matte, satin or enhanced finishes

Sealing helps minimise soot absorption and keeps cleaning manageable.
