Travertine and Limestone Cleaning and Restoration in Hampshire
Travertine and Limestone Clean, Strip and Seal Service
Expert Care for Your Natural Stone Surfaces
Limestone and travertine are two of the most sought-after natural stone materials used in homes and commercial spaces. With their timeless beauty, subtle colour variations, and variety of finishes — from smooth and honed to rustic and textured — they bring warmth and elegance to any setting. However, both are porous stones that require expert care to maintain their appearance and longevity.
At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, we specialize in the professional cleaning, sealing, and full restoration of limestone and travertine floors. Whether your stone is lightly soiled or heavily worn, we offer tailored solutions to restore its natural beauty and protect it for years to come.
Comprehensive Limestone and Travertine Services
Routine Cleaning & Sealing
Due to their porous nature, limestone and travertine can absorb dirt, grime, and moisture, leading to discoloration, staining, and a dull finish over time. Regular professional cleaning and sealing helps prevent these issues and keeps your floors looking fresh and vibrant.
Our Process Includes:
1. Protection of Surrounding Areas
We begin by carefully protecting skirting boards, kitchen units, furniture, and any adjacent surfaces using durable plastic sheeting and protective coverings to ensure your home remains spotless during the process.
2. Deep Cleaning
A powerful
alkaline cleaning solution is applied to break down built-up grime, oils, and embedded dirt. Using advanced floor cleaning machines, we agitate the surface to lift out contamination.
- Grout lines and pitted areas are cleaned by hand for precision.
- For more stubborn areas, we use HYDROFORCE high-pressure water technology to safely flush out dirt from the pores and pits of the stone.
3. Drying & Sealing
Once the floor is completely dry, we apply a
premium-grade impregnating sealant tailored to your specific type of limestone or travertine. This protects the stone from spills, staining, and day-to-day wear while enhancing its natural tones.
Restoration & Refinishing Services
Over time, limestone and travertine may become etched, scratched, stained, or uneven due to wear, cleaning products, or acidic spills. When a standard clean isn't enough, our restoration services can fully rejuvenate your floor.
Honing to Remove Etching & Surface Wear
Our honing process uses diamond abrasives to remove a very thin layer from the surface of the stone. This allows us to:
- Eliminate etch marks, scratches, and light surface damage
- Level uneven tiles (lippage removal)
- Achieve a smooth, refined finish that suits your style
Honing is perfect for restoring the elegant, matte or satin finish typical of travertine and honed limestone floors.
Diamond Polishing for a Glossy or Satin Finish
For a more polished, luxurious appearance, we use a multi-stage diamond polishing process. This enhances the stone’s natural reflectivity and creates a smooth, lustrous finish — whether you prefer a satin sheen or high-gloss look.
Not only does polishing bring out the depth of the stone’s color and texture, it also helps to tighten the surface for increased resistance to future staining and easier maintenance.

Are you experiencing problems with your Travertine?
We have the following solutions:
Filled travertine
If holes have appeared in your filled travertine, we can easily refill them and blend the filled area with the surrounding finish. Your floor can be made lovely and smooth or even polished finish
Unfilled travertine
For unfilled travertine, dirt and grime will inevitably get trapped in the holes. We can provide deep cleaning services to remove embedded soils, improving its cleanliness and appearance but preserving its untamed elegance. Problematic holes can be filled to make your maintenance cleaning easier moving forward.
Travertine problems and our solutions
Whether filled or unfilled, travertine is subject to subtle forms of damage, such as a dull, dingy-looking surface or light etches and scratches, and more severe damage such as cracks, chips, or deep etches and scratches. We can resolve almost any travertine problem, repairing travertine cracks and chips and honing to remove travertine etching and scratching. We can refinish your travertine to restore its satin/matte finish or give it a glass-like polish. We can make your travertine look like new and keep it looking that way with periodic restoration services.
With specialist cleaning, stripping, sealing, diamond grinding and polishing.
