Belgrave house flooring
 

Dear Sir

I manage the soft facility services for American Express UK buildings,

and I have a building in London which has a problem with its flooring.

The Building is Belgrave House, 76 Buckingham Palace Road, Belgravia,

London and was built less than 5 years ago.

Belgrave House has what we believe to be white marble flooring the stone type is Aurisian Hard Limestone in the

Toilets, walkways and stair cores, which have become heavily stained

with coke, cleaning fluid, uric acid and hand soap. We have tried

several different methods to remove the stains, but they either fade and

then return exactly as before or do not alter at all.

Johnson Diversey recently carried out a chemical clean, but this

although seemed to remove most of the stains, 2 weeks later they

returned exactly as before.

Pioneer, Interclean, Supreme Cleaning have all attempted to resolve the

problem, but alas to no avail.

Please can you recommend a treatment for this flooring and something

that can protect it from stains going forward.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The material has not just been stained , but etched, so you need to re-finish the surface. A stone restoration specialist can grind and re-finish the surface and then through a maintenace program of applying a sealer you should not have problems in the future.
