Stone in malls, offices and hotel lobbies takes tens of thousands of footfalls daily, and routine cleaning alone cannot sustain its condition. An annual maintenance contract institutionalises inspection, crystallisation, re-sealing and prompt repair, keeping stone stable, extending service life and avoiding the large cost of a one-off major restoration.
1) Scheduled inspection, quarterly or half-yearly, with a condition report. 2) Crystallisation polishing once or twice a year depending on footfall. 3) Re-sealing, generally annually. 4) Local repair of chips, cracks and blackened joints. 5) Emergency repair with a 24-hour response. 6) Advice on cleaning products and consumables.
Main mall concourses and office lobbies benefit from crystallisation every six to twelve months; hotel lobbies can be scheduled around peak seasons; dining areas need more frequent re-sealing because of grease. Quarterly inspection is recommended, with additional visits before and after the rainy season.
Start with a full condition assessment covering gloss, wear, staining, joints and hollow areas, then prioritise zones by footfall: main concourses first, secondary routes next, back-of-house last. Set an annual timetable that avoids peak trading periods and major events.
Annual maintenance costs far less than a major restoration every few years and prevents damage severe enough to require replacement. For property management, stone condition directly affects building image and tenant perception, making it a worthwhile investment.
It depends on area, footfall and scope, usually quoted per square metre per year. Provide the mall or lobby area and current condition and we will assess and quote for free.
Usually within one working day, and it can be phased or done at night without affecting daytime trading. It produces little dust and the floor is usable immediately.
Yes. Besides annual contracts we offer single crystallisation visits, sealing and local repairs.
