Marble Fitting in Sikkim
New marble looks only as good as the fitting under it. Uneven bedding, hollow corners and wide joints cannot be polished away later, so the laying stage decides the final result. Work in Sikkim is planned as a scheduled visit: the crew and machines travel together on a fixed date, and the rate is written down after the floor is seen in person or from clear photos.

What each surface needs
| Stage | What matters | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Level, clean, sound | Prevents hollow slabs |
| Joint width | Kept tight and even | Wide joints need grinding |
| Levelling | No lippage between slabs | Saves the polishing stage |
| Finishing | Polished after laying | One uniform gloss |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs

Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
The written rate is the final amount for the agreed scope. If we open the floor and find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you before continuing, not after.
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.
Waste is removed the same day. Slurry, stripped residue, used pads and packaging leave with the crew instead of going into society bins or being left for you to dispose of.
Why clients book us
- Polishing done by the same team that laid the floor

Marble Fitting - common questions
Should new marble be polished immediately?
After laying and joint filling it should be levelled and polished so the whole floor ends up with one finish. Waiting leaves the floor open to staining around the joints.
Do you handle cutting around columns and skirting?
Yes. Edge cutting and skirting work is quoted per running foot and finished before the final polish.
Can you match marble from an older lot?
Matching is possible but never exact. Send a photo and we will show you the closest available lots before ordering.
What causes hollow slabs after installation?
Almost always a base that was not levelled or cleaned properly, or cement laid too dry. Tapped hollow slabs have to be lifted and re-laid, which is why we check the base first.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
