Travertine Polishing Travertine and Limestone Cleaning in Delhi NCR
The holes and pits in travertine hold dirt that a mop cannot lift. Cleaning has to reach into the texture, and any polishing afterwards is done as a light hone so the stone keeps its natural look. 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.

Night, weekend and occupied-premises work
- Evening, night and Sunday slots so trading hours and office shifts are untouched
- Machine noise managed around residents, guests and neighbours, with work sequenced floor by floor
- Zones handed back ready for use before the next shift or opening time
- Lighting provided where a site has no working lights after hours
- Supervisor present throughout, with one point of contact for the site manager
Working after hours costs a little more in crew arrangements, and we tell you that upfront rather than burying it in the rate.
Dust and water control is planned before we start: masking on skirting and fittings, wet working instead of dry, and slurry vacuumed as the machine moves rather than left to dry in corners.
Old polish, wax and cleaning residue are stripped before any new finish goes on. Layering a fresh treatment over residue is what makes floors look grey again within weeks.

Travertine Polishing Service - common questions
Why is acid so damaging to travertine?
Travertine and limestone are calcium-based. Acid dissolves the surface binder, which leaves white etch marks and opens the texture, and the damage is permanent unless the surface is honed back.
Will cleaning remove dirt from the pits?
Yes, with the right brushes and neutral cleaner, but the pits will refill over time. Filling open pits at the same visit is the practical fix.
Can travertine be polished to a shine?
It can be honed or lightly polished, but a mirror finish on soft, pitted stone is neither natural nor durable. We usually recommend a honed finish with sealer.
How often should it be sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for floors, and more often in wet areas. Sealer slows absorption rather than blocking it.
Is there a premium for night work?
Sometimes, and we say so before booking. It covers crew scheduling and transport at unsociable hours, not the work itself.
Can you work while our premises stay open?
Yes. Work is phased section by section, with dry paths and signage so customers and staff are never crossing a wet or machine-worked area.
Will the machines disturb neighbours?
Machine noise is unavoidable for short periods. We sequence the noisiest work earlier, and for residential buildings we stay within the society's permitted hours.
