Looking for Slate Floor Cleaning in Chichester? With over 50 years of specialist floor care expertise, we provide professional slate floor cleaning and restoration in Chichester, helping homeowners protect and revitalise one of the most durable and characterful natural stones.
Slate offers a rich, rustic charm with deep tones, natural variation, and a textured surface that makes every floor unique. However, slate can become dull, stained, uneven, or difficult to maintain when ingrained dirt, old sealers, or everyday wear build up over time. Our expert slate cleaning, restoration, repair, and sealing services restore the natural beauty of your stone while preserving the distinctive features that make slate such a desirable flooring choice.
Every slate floor is different, riven, honed, brushed, or calibrated, and each finish requires a specific treatment method. As Faber-trained and approved applicators, while also working with a range of other premium stone care systems, we deliver safe, effective, and high-quality restoration tailored to prestigious homes and heritage properties across Chichester and West Sussex. Whether your slate floor needs deep cleaning, resealing, colour enhancement, or surface repairs, our experienced team provides a comprehensive, reliable service tailored to your home.
We use slate-safe alkaline cleaners, controlled mechanical agitation, and pressurised rinsing to lift dirt from the surface, texture, and grout lines. This removes years of accumulated soil without damaging the stone or altering its natural characteristics. Deep cleaning alone can dramatically improve the tone, clarity, and freshness of your slate floor.
Old acrylic coatings, failed sealers, and colour enhancers can cause patchiness or a dull, lifeless appearance. We safely strip these products using specialist removers, restoring the slate to a clean, natural state ready for refinishing. Correct coating removal is essential for an even, long-lasting restoration.
Slate naturally contains clefts, texture, and small imperfections that contribute to its charm. However, accidental damage such as chips, scrapes, or localised cracks may require repair. We use high-quality resin fillers and colour-matched compounds to rebuild and blend damaged areas.
While we aim for the most seamless result possible, repairs on natural slate cannot always be made completely invisible due to the stone’s inherent variation and riven texture. However, all repairs are structurally sound and aesthetically sympathetic, designed to blend naturally with the surrounding stone.

We provide honest guidance on what will work best for your specific type of slate.
To complete the process, we apply high-quality impregnating or enhancing sealers designed specifically for slate. These sealers protect against staining, make routine cleaning easier, and help maintain consistent colour. The result is a cleaner, richer, longer-lasting finish that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
Slate is a natural stone known for its textured surface and durability. While it’s hard-wearing, it’s also porous and can trap dirt and moisture if not properly cleaned and maintained.
No. Many household cleaners contain harsh chemicals or acids that can damage slate or strip protective sealers. Only pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners should be used.
Most slate floors benefit from professional cleaning every 12–24 months. High-traffic or commercial areas may require more frequent cleaning.
Yes, when done correctly. Use minimal water and a suitable stone-safe cleaner. Excess water can penetrate the stone and cause staining or sealer breakdown.
Many stains can be treated successfully, depending on their cause and how long they’ve been present. Oil, grease, and ground-in dirt often require specialist treatment.
