Slate Floor Refinishing Sandstone and Slate Floor Cleaning in Delhi NCR
These stones are cleaned by controlled scrubbing and then protected with an impregnating sealer. Polishing them is usually wrong, because the whole point of the finish is the natural matte texture. 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.

How to get a quote that does not change
- WhatsApp photos of the dullest area and the worst stain speed up the first estimate
- A free on-site inspection gives the final figure, because gloss readings and damage depth cannot be judged from a photo
- The written quote lists surface by surface: area, rate, scope and exclusions
- Coatings, crack repairs and slab replacement appear as separate optional lines
- The figure is valid for thirty days unless you ask us to hold it longer
If a contractor quotes a single number for a whole house without inspecting it, that number will change once work starts. We would rather quote after looking.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
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.

Slate Floor Refinishing - common questions
Should sandstone be polished?
Usually not. Sandstone reads best with its natural matte finish, and polishing it only makes the surface unevenly reflective. Where a smoother finish is wanted, honing is the right process.
What are the white patches on my sandstone or slate?
Efflorescence, mineral salts pushed to the surface by moisture. It is removed with a pH-neutral treatment, and the underlying damp should be addressed or it returns.
Can slate be sealed outdoors?
Yes, with an impregnating sealer, and it will need re-sealing every twelve to twenty-four months depending on rain and foot traffic.
Is pressure washing safe?
On soft sandstone it is not, because it erodes the surface and drives water into the layers. Controlled low-pressure cleaning with the right brushes is safer.
Can I get a quote on WhatsApp?
Yes as an indicative band. Send photos in daylight of the dullest area, any stains and one close-up of the surface. The final figure is confirmed after the free on-site inspection.
How long is the quote valid?
Thirty days from the inspection date. Material and product rates move, so we do not hold figures indefinitely, but we will tell you if anything changes.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the site visit or the measurement, and no obligation to proceed afterwards.
