Expert Damage Restoration Services in Newbury

Natural Stone Sealants Most natural stone should be sealed before and after installation, and all of our restoration treatments include the application of a sealant. There is a lot of misinformation and misconception about what this means for your stone, how it works and why it doesn’t give you 100% protection. Here we explore the world of natural stone sealants. Impregnating Sealants penetrate the capillaries of the stone and protect from within. They can leave the stone with a natural, or colour-enhanced appearance, but always with the stone surface exposed. Why this type of sealant is used: Because 99% of natural stone is porous, this sealant is essentially designed to stop any spillages onto the stone penetrating the internal structure of the tile and causing damage or a deep set stain. There is a great video on our YouTube channel which demonstrates the difference between water poured onto a sealed and an unsealed marble surface. What it means in practice: Accidents happen. Our clients have split everything from coffee machine descaler to limescale remover on their natural stone and it is always restorable. When stone has been properly sealed, we can always reassure you that the damage is only surface level. Take a look at our portfolio pages to see this in action.
