Careful Removal of Original Terrazzo Panels

Our team began by carefully lifting and preserving the majority of the original terrazzo panels throughout the hallway.

Each section was labelled and protected to ensure accurate reinstatement once the structural works were complete.

This careful process allowed the historic terrazzo elements to be retained while providing access to the failed sub-base beneath the floor.

Structural Sub-Base Reconstruction

Once the terrazzo panels had been removed, the collapsed sub-base was fully excavated and reconstructed.

A new reinforced concrete sub-base was installed to provide long-term structural stability and prevent future movement within the hallway floor.

This stage was critical in ensuring the restored terrazzo surface would remain stable and durable for many years to come.

Reinstatement of Terrazzo Flooring

Following completion of the new structural base, the original terrazzo panels were meticulously reinstated using specialist natural stone adhesives.

Each section was carefully aligned to recreate the original layout and detailing of the Edwardian hallway floor.

Crack Repairs and Filling

All cracks and damaged areas within the terrazzo surface were carefully opened and repaired using colour-matched polyester resin fillers combined with matching terrazzo chippings.

This process ensured that repairs blended seamlessly with the surrounding original terrazzo.

Diamond Repolishing

To complete the restoration, the entire hallway floor was professionally diamond repolished.

This process restored the shine, clarity, and natural lustre of the terrazzo while refining the surface to a smooth and uniform finish.

The polished floor now reflects the original grandeur and character of the Edwardian property.
