Yorkstone and sandstone have been used for centuries as a practical and attractive building material. Formed naturally over millions of years, these stones have been used for everything from traditional paving and steps to fireplaces, floors and architectural features. Their natural colours, textures and variations are part of what makes each stone floor completely unique.

​

Known for their durability and timeless appearance, Yorkstone and sandstone are particularly well suited to period and traditional properties. However, being natural and porous materials, they can become heavily soiled, stained or weathered over time. Previous coatings, moisture, dirt and general wear can also affect both their appearance and condition.

​

To preserve the character and natural beauty of these historic floors, professional cleaning and restoration should be carried out using methods appropriate to the individual stone. Careful cleaning can remove years of accumulated dirt and staining while retaining the natural surface, colour and character of the Yorkstone or sandstone.
