Flagstone Restoration

Blue lias flagstones, Wedmore...
This beautiful floor in Wedmore, made up of large Blue lias flagstones, had been treated over the years with a coating of something which reduced the floors ability to breathe.
Our stripping process removed the coating, revealing the true colour of the original stone floor.
With the pointing replaced with our Somerset mix, using some of the dust from the restoration, the floor was then finished with a misting of beeswax and polished to a natural lustre.
The clients were over the moon with the transformation.

Blue lias flagstones...
Clients often ask "can't you just turn the flagstone over?".
Short answer is no.
Measuring just over four feet in length (1.3 metres), this lovely example from Castle Reclamation shows just how pitted and uneven the bottom of a flagstone is.

Dustless technology...
Using the latest in dustless technology, our hoovers remove 99% of the airborne dust and debris, keeping not only the work environment clean but our lungs too!
All of our equipment is usually kept in a 3 metre tent outside of the property, feeding hoses and pipes inside but in this case, we were working in a large basement, so had room to accommodate inside.

Something different this week...
Ben, from Infinite Interiors designed and fitted a shelving system for the back of the van.
Part of the brief was that there had to be enough room to fit a motorbike!
He did a first rate job - bike and customer very happy!!

RIP Anthony Head...
We had the pleasure of meeting Anthony a couple of years ago when we restored a flagstone floor at his family home in Bath.
A charming man - such a sad loss 🙏🏻

Sometimes the smallest of changes makes the biggest difference...
The only thing letting this original Blue lias floor down was a bad repair job.
We removed the concrete and smaller stones, fitting this hand cut flagstone.
Makes all the difference!

When you've got a day off, what better way to spend it than a bimble in the Somerset sunshine.
