Stone Floor Cleaning & Restoration

Pricing for stone floor cleaning and restoration varies depending on the floor’s condition, the level of restoration required, and the client’s chosen finish. Costs typically range from £15/m² for basic cleaning and sealing to £75/m² for full grinding and restoration. Factors such as deep staining, etching, lippage removal, and polishing preferences can affect the final price. To receive an accurate estimate, we recommend sharing details about your floor’s current state and any specific requirements.

Expertise

Flooring as an Investment

Your flooring is perhaps the largest piece of “furniture” in your home, playing a key role in its overall décor and ambiance. Investing in high-quality flooring or restoring your existing floors is one of the most significant investments you’ll make, right after your home and car. This investment adds both value and aesthetic appeal to your space, making it well worth careful consideration.

Tailoring Pricing to the Project:
Beyond Square Meterage

The Limitations of Per Square Meter Pricing

We strive for fairness and transparency in our pricing, but charging purely by the square meter can sometimes lead to inconsistencies. For instance, completing 30 square meters in one day is very different from spending three days in a smaller 10 square meter room. This makes a one-size-fits-all approach impractical.

Developing a Comprehensive Pricing Model

To overcome this challenge, we’ve developed a detailed pricing system that considers numerous factors, including:

    The type of floor
    The total area size
    The layout of the space
    The current condition of the floor
    Necessary repairs
    Humidity levels
    Location of the project

Additionally, we factor in the timing, such as whether the job needs to be done outside of normal business hours, during weekends, or within standard hours, and we estimate the number of people and time required to complete the job efficiently.

Setting Clear Business Goals: Understanding The Numbers

The Challenge of Undefined Objectives

Many businesses fail to establish clear goals or understand essential financial metrics like gross profit and break-even points. This leads to sporadic success. We rely on a strategic approach grounded in real numbers to ensure we deliver consistent, high-quality service.

The Importance of Understanding Financial Metrics

The saying “You can’t beat the math” is vital to our business philosophy. Understanding our financials helps us maintain a reliable pricing strategy, ensuring that we meet our goals while delivering value to our clients.

The Goal: Profit with a Purpose

While profitability is essential, our ultimate goal is to enhance client satisfaction by providing services that exceed expectations. Our work ensures long-term savings and peace of mind for our clients, allowing you to focus on what matters most while we care for your floors.

Conclusion:

Transform Your Floors with Peace of Mind

At Silver Lining Floor Care, we pride ourselves on providing more than just floor restoration. We deliver peace of mind, knowing that your investment is safeguarded by our expertise. Opting for the cheapest option can often lead to significant losses, but investing in quality ensures long-lasting beauty and functionality for your floors.

Transform Your Floors: Start with a Detailed Estimate

If you’re ready to transform your floors, reach out with as much detail as possible, whether it’s sanding, cleaning, or anything in between. A detailed inquiry allows us to give you the most precise estimate possible. In some cases, we may need to visit your site to fully assess the project.

FAQs

How is the cost of floor restoration determined?

Our pricing is based on multiple factors, including the type of flooring, total area size, floor condition, necessary repairs, and the job’s complexity. We also consider external factors such as humidity levels, project location, and scheduling requirements (e.g., weekend or after-hours work).

Why isn’t there a fixed price per square meter?

While we provide price ranges based on previous projects, floor restoration is not a one-size-fits-all service. The cost of restoring 10m² of intricate flooring can be significantly higher than a straightforward 30m² job. We take a tailored approach to ensure fairness and transparency.

How much does wood floor sanding and finishing cost?

Wood floor sanding and finishing typically costs £35-£55/m², depending on the floor’s condition, the chosen finish, and any additional treatments like staining or brushing. Premium finishes or complex jobs can reach £70-£125/m², especially when using high-end oils, lacquers, or colour treatments.

How much does stone floor cleaning and restoration cost?

Basic stone floor cleaning and sealing start from £15/m², with polishing and refinishing typically falling between £25 and £50/m². Full grinding for floors with lippage, deep scratches, or etching can go up to £75/m², depending on the stone type and the extent of restoration needed.

How much does hard floor cleaning and maintenance cost?

For large commercial spaces, basic hard floor cleaning starts from £3/m², while deep cleaning, stain removal, and polishing typically range from £10 to £25/m². Specialised restoration and premium sealing for high-end finishes or heavily worn surfaces can reach £35/m² or more, depending on the requirements.

How much does carpet cleaning cost?

Carpet cleaning typically costs around £10/m², depending on the level of soiling and the type of carpet.

How much does upholstery cleaning cost?

Upholstery cleaning is priced per seat, with costs averaging £60 per seat. This varies depending on the fabric type, level of soiling, and the required cleaning process.

How much does Oriental rug cleaning cost?

Offsite Oriental rug cleaning typically ranges from £35 to £55/m², depending on the material, level of soiling, and any specialised treatments required. Delicate fibres and intricate patterns may require additional care, which can influence the final price.

Can I get an exact quote without a site visit?

We can provide an initial estimate based on photos, floor details, and measurements. However, for more complex projects or where conditions are unclear, an on-site assessment may be required to ensure an accurate quote.

Do you offer discounts for larger commercial jobs?

Yes, commercial projects are typically more cost-effective due to their scale. Larger areas allow for efficient workflow, reducing the per-square-meter cost compared to small domestic jobs.

What’s included in the quoted price?

Our quotes cover all necessary steps, from preparation to cleaning, sanding, polishing, sealing, and finishing. Additional services like furniture moving, heavy stain removal or special treatments can be discussed if required.

Is there a minimum charge for smaller jobs?

Yes, smaller projects may have a minimum charge to cover setup, labour, and materials. This ensures that every job, regardless of size, receives the same level of professional care.

How long does a restoration project take?

Project duration depends on the floor type, condition, and selected restoration process. Maintenance cleaning can be completed in a few hours, while full grinding, sanding, or refinishing may take several days, including curing time for protective finishes.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfers and online card payments. Full details will be provided with your invoice.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, we typically ask for a deposit to secure your booking. The balance is due upon completion of the job.

How do I get a quote?

Contact us with details about your floor, including size, material, condition, and any specific preferences. The more information you provide, the more accurate our estimate will be.

We had a great experience with Silver Lining Floor Care Company. First of all, they came to see me the same day I contacted them to show how the floor sanding would work and also apply a couple of coloured varnishes to appreciate what the final effect would look like. Once selected, they have shared the most professional quote I have seen in my life, with a clear Video explanation that takes you through the quote line by line. Additionally, they have great customer care - they are always available over the phone, whatsapp and email to really address any query you have. Cherry on the cake, they have delivered a very good job, respecting their promise. I would highly recommend.

Super results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs. Their expertise and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel like I got great value for money.

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Bermondsey

Johnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!

Silver Lining Floor Care conducted some Victorian Tile restoration and cleaning for me. A day after the initial visit some white residue came to the surface due to moisture in the air. On calling Silver Lining Floor Care to tell them this they returned and rectified immediately. An excellent job and will be using again. I can recommend.

O Bidder

Victorian Tiles Restoration, London, Kensigton

Silver Lining Floor Care refinished our existing floorbaords and installed new engineered oak in the remainder of our flat. They are an extremely professional and efficient business to work with. Johnny was very responsive throughout the scoping and quoting process and recommended an engineered oak floorboard that was both higher quality and cheaper than the boards I'd been looking at. Peter first leveled our floors before installing the new boards to ensure a very professional fit. He was easy to communicate with and sent photos throughout the installation as we were not around to see it in person. We have worked with lots of contractors for the renovation of our flat and been dismayed at how so many companies leave the property in a total mess. Silver Lining Floor Care have been the only company to take good care of the property and leave it in perfect condition. Very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend them.

Johnny, Peter and Milosz did a great job on our floors. The quote was provided promptly and we were kept informed at all times of appointments and next steps. When the carpet was taken up prior to work, this showed that some floorboards needed to be repaired. Milosz did a very thorough job in repairing these, removing gaps, strengthening the existing boards and taking a great deal of care to make the floor look as good as possible. I would recommend Silver Lining Floor Care.

We had new doors on the back of the house which meant we needed the floor lifted and taken to a new border point. Small job but as time consuming as a new floor. Team were amazing and cut out the old boards and put in the new ones so everything fitted flush with a great trim border they made out of a spare board. Really nice people, clean and tidy and would highly recommend.
