Heritage Floor Restoration

Your original tiles are part of the history of your home. We restore them carefully, getting them back to how they’re supposed to look without losing what makes them worth saving.

It’s the most involved work we do. Every job starts with a proper look at what’s there: what can be saved, what needs replacing. We lift carefully, document the pattern, prepare the substrate, and re-lay every tile the way it should be done. The result is a floor that looks right and holds up.

  • Full condition assessment and pattern documentation
  • Careful lifting and storage of all salvageable original tiles
  • Substrate inspection, repair, and preparation
  • Re-laying of original tiles with period-accurate grout and bedding
  • Sourcing of matching replica tiles for any sections beyond repair
  • Precision cutting for borders, thresholds, and transitions
  • Final clean, seal, and joint finish
  • Post-completion care and maintenance advice

We keep things simple, transparent, and focused on getting your project right.

Who we service

Home Owners

You've got a period home with original tiles that need work. Cracked, lifted, patched badly over the years. You want them sorted properly, not covered up or swapped out for something that doesn't fit.

Heritage Property Owners

Your property is heritage-listed or sits in an overlay. The work needs to hit a certain standard of accuracy. We know what that looks like.

Investors & Renovators

Restoring a period home for resale or rental. A proper verandah floor makes a real difference from the street. We get it done right.

Builders & Project Managers

You need a tile specialist who knows heritage work and won't need hand-holding on site. We've done this plenty of times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this is most of what we do. We lift the damaged sections, find the closest match for replacements, and lay them in so they blend with the original. Usually you can't pick the repair.

Depends what's underneath. Some substrates are still solid and just need cleaning and priming before we start. Others, particularly old sand-and-cement beds, need to come out before anything new will last. We check it properly during the initial visit and include whatever's needed in the quote.

Honestly, close but not identical. Originals were often handmade with slight colour and size variations that modern replicas can't fully replicate. The match is usually very good, especially once everything's sealed and settled. We'll show you samples before ordering so you can see for yourself.
