Natural Stone Cleaning in Delhi NCR
Cleaning and polishing are two different jobs. A floor can be clean and still look grey because the sheen is gone, and it can be shiny and still be dirty if residue has been sealed in. We do both, in the right order. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

What each surface needs
| Problem | What grinding does | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Lippage between slabs | Cuts the high slab to floor level | Flat floor, no trip lines |
| Dark traffic lanes | Removes the compacted worn layer | Uniform colour across the room |
| Deep scratches and gouges | Cuts back below the scratch depth | Gone, or faint on very deep damage |
| Cement, POP and paint splatter | Removes it without acid | Clean stone, no chemical risk |
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
- Inspection, lippage measurement and hollow test (free)
- Masking of walls, skirting, doors and furniture
- Coarse grinding, 40-60 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Refining at 200 and 400 grit, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Polishing, wash-down and handover
Natural Stone Cleaning Companies rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Typical case |
|---|---|---|
| Light grinding with polish | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Surface damage, patchy gloss |
| Full grinding, levelling and polish | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Lippage, deep damage, dark lanes |
| Crystallisation after grinding | Quoted after inspection | Adds hardness and gloss |
| Grinding plus slab re-laying | Quoted per slab | Hollow or lifted slabs |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
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
Payment terms are stated upfront: advances apply only where material has to be bought for a large job, and the balance is settled after the walkthrough so you are never paying for work you have not seen.
Every job ends with a walkthrough. You see the gloss reading, the treated patches and the joints before the crew packs up, and the same crew owns any correction needed later.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.

Natural Stone Cleaning Companies - common questions
Does grinding create dust all over the house?
We grind wet, so dust becomes slurry rather than airborne powder, and we mask doors and skirting. Slurry is vacuumed and washed before we leave.
Can lippage between marble and tile be levelled?
Usually yes where the two surfaces meet at different heights. Where the step is more than a few millimetres, an exact match may not be possible and we say so before starting.
Is grinding always followed by polishing?
Yes in practice. Grinding leaves machine marks until the finer grits and polishing smooth them out, which is why the two stages are quoted together.
What if a slab is hollow?
Grinding cannot re-bond it. Loose slabs must be re-laid, and we quote that separately rather than hiding the problem under a polish.
Will grinding make my floor noticeably thinner?
It removes a fraction of a millimetre at the surface and more only where slabs are high. Average floors take several grinding cycles over their life. We measure thickness during the free inspection 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.
