Renovations
& Repairs-
Many original floors still exist but at
the sme time a substantial amount have
been destroyed, whether it be through
subsidence or modernization (i.e central
heating pipes, carpet grippers etc.) by
using square edged hand cut tiles which
can be closly matched to original colours,
The Classic Victorian Tiling Company
can achieve excellent restoration results.
Cleaning & Sealing -
Many floors lay hidden under carpets for
years leaving them in quite an undesirable
condition. Some have become victims to
paint or have just been neglectated. With
modern equipment, products and old fashioned
elbow grease these floors on the whole
can be brought back to their former glory.
Originally Victorian tile floors were
waxed to enhance their colours but it
was something that had to be carried out
on a very frequent basis. Today we have
acrylic sealers which as well as enhance
the colours also provide some protection
to the tiles.
Depending on the amount of traffic that
passes across the floor this process generally
need only be done on an anual basis.
After all our renovations, repairs and
internal installations we clean and apply
four coats of sealer to the finished floor.
Fireplaces -
Many Victorian fire place hearths used
decorative tiles. The Classic
Victorian Tiling Company can
help source original or replica tiles
to match and and take of the restoration
work to get your firplace back to its
original condition.
