Terrazzo Floor Installation in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire

This detached house had been bought at auction and been empty for several years. A family from London bought the house and commissioned a building contractor to do renovation works. A terrazzo flooring installer was subcontracted to install a number of terrazzo floors throughout the house. Due to financial problems, the terrazzo installer started but did not complete the installations.

Terrazzo Floors - Joint Matching Issues
The family found us on the web and we agreed to complete the terrazzo floor installation. In picking up the installation part way through, we hit several problems with the matching of the marble joints. Precise matching of resin floor joints is very challenging and we took a sample of the initial floor resin to a resin specialist to have it colour matched. Even with a specifically colour matched resin, there is a tendency for the resin to lighten as a result of the grinding process.
For more detail on floor matching, please see Stone Floors FAQ.

The initial terrazzo installer had not been very proficient, and we found that we had to remove and replace a considerable amount of his work.

Hire the Best, not the Cheapest Terrazzo Floor Layer
This example serves to show how challenging the installation of a terrazzo floor is- and the importance of selection the best –not the cheapest – installer for the project.

Marble Floor Finishing Work – Wetherby, North Yorkshire

This project involved work on a stone floor in a new build property in Wetherby, North Yorkshire.

Northern Marble are floor fixers of high repute. They bought and laid floor on laid only basis –i.e. a fix and grout only contract.

When the floor was laid the client was unhappy. The floor in the new house did not have a glass finish like the floor in his Spanish property – which had been ground on completion.

Northern Marble brought us in and we removed the lips and diamond polished the floor to a high polish finish. We then sealed the floor before applying a final clean and polish. This work was applied to the marble in the kitchen, pool areas, stair treads and risers.

 In these domestic limestone floor repairs in Altrincham, Cheshire and Preston, Lancashire, we cut out all of the joints, which had discoloured grey with age and wear. We used a marble resin to repair damaged tiles and also did a diamond re-surface and polish of the floors.

Ordsall Hall, Salford, Greater Manchester

This floor refurbishment required the replacement of numerous broken and missing floor tiles. We had to dig out the floor screed and start again from basics. The geothermic tiles of this floor were numerous different shapes and sizes, laid out in an encrusted design. The original tiles were 300 years old and the major challenge of this project was to replace them, laying them out in precisely the same pattern.
