Protecting Your Natural Stone
Natural stone floors represent a significant investment in your property. Without proper protection, porous stones like limestone and travertine readily absorb spills, leading to staining and damage that can be difficult or impossible to reverse. Even daily use gradually takes its toll on unprotected stone surfaces.
Professional sealing creates an invisible protective barrier within the stone’s pores, preventing liquids from penetrating whilst allowing the stone to breathe naturally. This protection guards against common issues like water marks, oil stains and general soiling, keeping your floor looking its best for years longer than unprotected stone.
At StoneCura, we’ve spent over 10 years sealing natural stone floors throughout Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and beyond. We understand which sealers work best for different stone types and how to apply them for maximum protection and longevity.

Understanding Professional Stone Floor Sealing
Stone floor sealing involves applying specialist products that penetrate the stone’s pores and create a protective barrier against liquids and staining. These sealers work below the surface rather than forming a coating on top, allowing the stone to maintain its natural appearance whilst gaining protection.
The sealing process fills the microscopic pores in natural stone, dramatically reducing its ability to absorb liquids. When spills occur on properly sealed stone, they remain on the surface long enough for you to wipe them away before penetration occurs. This prevention is far more effective than trying to remove stains after they’ve set into unprotected stone.
Different stone types require different sealing approaches. Porous stones like limestone and travertine benefit greatly from sealing and need regular reapplication. Denser materials like granite may need less frequent sealing depending on their specific porosity. We assess your stone type and recommend appropriate products and application schedules.
Signs Your Stone Floor Needs Professional Sealing
Here are a few of the most common reasons when stone floors need professional sealing:
New installations or recent restoration: Newly laid stone floors should be sealed once they’re clean and dry. Similarly, after deep cleaning, polishing or refinishing work, fresh sealing provides protection for the renewed surface and ensures your investment is properly safeguarded.
Water absorption and staining: If water soaks into your stone rather than beading on the surface, the existing sealer has worn away or was never applied. This leaves your floor vulnerable to staining from spills, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms and other areas where liquids are common.
Difficult cleaning and maintenance: Unsealed stone absorbs dirt and grime along with liquids, making routine cleaning less effective. Professional sealing creates a protective barrier that keeps soiling on the surface where it’s easily removed, making ongoing maintenance significantly simpler.
Regular time intervals: Most natural stone floors benefit from resealing every 3-5 years depending on traffic levels and stone type. High-use areas may need more frequent treatment, whilst lower-traffic spaces can go longer between applications.
Why Choose Professional Stone Floor Sealing
Stone-specific sealer selection
Different stones require different sealer types. Limestone needs different products than granite, and the finish on your floor affects which sealer performs best. Our expertise ensures we select and apply the right products for your specific stone and situation.
Proper surface preparation
Even, complete coverage
Professional application delivers uniform protection across the entire floor. DIY sealing frequently results in missed areas, overlaps or uneven coverage that leaves parts of your floor vulnerable whilst creating appearance inconsistencies.
Long-lasting protection
Time and effort saving
Sealing a stone floor manually is exhausting work that often leads to disappointing results. Professional service delivers superior outcomes in a fraction of the time, allowing you to focus on other priorities whilst we handle the hard work.
Expert advice on maintenance
How StoneCura Seals Stone Floors & Surfaces
Our professional stone floor sealing process is very thorough. We use our expert experience, professional equipment and stone-safe products at every stage. Here’s how we transform your stone floor from dull and dirty to clean and revitalised.
Assessment and preparation: We identify your stone type, check its porosity and assess existing sealer condition. The floor must be completely clean and dry before sealing begins, so we complete any necessary cleaning first or schedule sealing after cleaning work.
Sealer selection: Based on your stone type, finish and usage requirements, we select the most appropriate sealer. This includes deciding between penetrating sealers, surface sealers or enhancing products that also bring out stone colour.
Professional application: We apply sealer systematically across the entire floor, ensuring even coverage and proper penetration. Multiple coats may be needed depending on stone porosity and desired protection level. Each coat must dry properly before the next application.
Curing and final inspection: Sealers need time to cure properly before the floor can be used. We advise on appropriate curing times and provide guidance on initial use. Once cured, we inspect the results and provide maintenance recommendations.
Sealing For Different Stone Types
We provide professional sealing for all natural stone floors, including marble, limestone, travertine floors, slate, granite and more. Each stone type has different sealing requirements, and we tailor our approach to provide optimal protection for your specific material.
