Cheshire Restoration Services are a unique company and we specialise in the renovation and restoration of period features in your home.

We are passionate about what we do and pride ourselves on giving the very best service and delivering excellent results.

From minton tiles to mullion stone windows, wooden staircases to sandstone floors, fireplaces to fittings, and much more, we take pleasure in transforming the old back to its original condition.

Why replace when you can restore?

Restoration is often more cost effective than replacing with new, and adds character and charm that cannot be achieved with modern imitations. Authentic features and period style will enhance your property and also add value.

Please take a look around our website which will give you more information about our services, then contact us for a free consultation on any restoration project, whatever the size, or for further advice.

Victorian Geometric Floor Restoration

If you have any mosaic feature, period or contemporary, that requires attention, we offer a full restoration service to revive these attractive architectural features.

Listed below are some examples of common problems:

* Missing, damaged or loose tiles
* Evidence of subsidence
* Surface Grime – paint, adhesives, sealants
* Ingrained dirt
* Inconsistency with building alterations

For example, shown on the right is a hallway that has suffered from subsidence and other severe damage.

In order to achieve the end result which is shown on the right the following steps were taken:

* The tiles in the affected area (approx 2 sq.m) were carefully removed
* Prior to the re-installation of the design some structural work was undertaken by a building firm in order to strengthen the joists
* A suitable re-inforced base was fitted in place of the damaged original
* The original tiles were re-fitted and any missing tiles (including encaustic tiles) were replaced with modern equivalents
* Once fixed the floor was then grouted and intensively cleaned
