Tile & Grout Cleaning in Lancaster

A typical kitchen or bathroom floor takes 1-2 hours; a whole-house tiled floor half a day. Floors are walkable almost immediately after extraction, but wait 24 hours before wet-mopping, and longer if sealer was applied.

An alkaline pre-treatment to break down grease and soap scum, machine agitation with rotary brushes, then high-pressure hot water extraction that vacuums the dirty water away. It reaches into grout pores that mopping never touches.

In Lancaster, pricing runs per square metre with a minimum callout, so small bathrooms cost proportionally more than large open-plan floors. Sealing roughly doubles the per-metre rate. Get the area measured and quoted in writing.

Surface dirt, grease and most mould clean off well. Grout that is stained through its depth, or was never sealed and has absorbed years of dirty mop water, may only lighten. The fallback options are grout colour-sealing or re-grouting.

Almost always by floor area (per square metre or square foot), with a minimum job charge. Sealing after cleaning, shower recesses, and heavily stained or epoxy-smeared grout cost extra. Wall tiles are quoted separately from floors.

Yes — it's a specialist job: gentle chemistry, careful machine work, then impregnating sealer. Expect a per-square-metre rate several times the ceramic-floor price, and always ask for photos of previous victorian restorations before booking.
