Terrazzo restoration

Terrazzo is marble or glass chips set in cement or resin. Decades of traffic dull the surface, while old polishes, sealers and carpet adhesives build up and turn it grey or yellow. Underneath, the floor is usually sound.

Yes. Adhesive residues are removed mechanically and chemically, then the floor is ground and polished. The terrazzo beneath is usually intact.

Cracks and voids can be filled with matched chips and binder, then ground flush. If a crack is caused by structural movement, we advise on the cause first so it does not reappear.

A typical hallway or entrance takes one to three days. Large lobbies, or floors that need coatings removed first, take longer and can be phased so access is maintained.

We grind wet and collect the slurry continuously, so there is very little dust. Adjacent walls, doors and lifts are protected, and furniture needs to be cleared from the area before we start.

Sweep regularly to remove grit, mop with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid wax-based products that build up. Projects under 100 m² are priced per job; projects over 100 m² are priced per m², and you get a fixed written quote after a free assessment.
