**What lies beneath decades of old office carpet? Sometimes, it is a hidden architectural gem waiting to be rescued.**
During a recent high-end office refurbishment in Monument, London, our team uncovered an original terrazzo foyer that had been suffocated under layers of stubborn carpet glue and latex for years. The floor was battered, cracked, and littered with holes from previous fit-outs.
Instead of taking the easy route and covering it back up, the client brought in MGS Restoration Ltd to bring this historic floor back to life. Here is how our expert stonemasons executed the transformation:
* **Heavy Adhesive Extraction:** We safely stripped away decades of rock-hard latex and carpet glue without damaging the delicate terrazzo beneath.
* **Bespoke Resin Repairs:** We carefully raked out all cracks and holes, seamlessly filling them using a custom-colour epoxy resin mixed with perfectly matched terrazzo chippings to mimic the original pattern.
* **Diamond Refinishing:** We mechanically ground and polished the entire floor, cutting past the surface damage to achieve a flawless, high-shine finish.
* **Eco-Friendly Protection:** Finally, we locked in the results using our very own MGS-branded water-based nano eco-sealer, delivering maximum stain resistance with zero harsh chemicals or toxic off-gassing.
The result is a breathtaking, highly durable entrance that honors the building's history while perfectly suiting a premium modern workspace.
