At Wye Valley Heritage it doesn't matter If you have granite or marble countertops or floors in your house that need work, there will come a time when they will begin to lose their luster and need restoration work done on the stone. We are here to do this. All hard surfaces can get damaged, scratched, chipped & stained, or maybe just become dull over time. To really restore the surfaces to look new again, and to seal them for future protection, it helps to get a professional stone contractor. Here are some facts you should know about stone contractors to work on your marble and granite.

Don't Think You Need To Hire a Mason: Some might think they need to find a mason to do refinishing work on stone surfaces, but this is not the case. Masonry is the art of building things with concrete, brick, and stone, and is more of a broad construction trade as compared to stone restoration and maintenance. You might hire a mason if you are making a wall, or constructing a fireplace or walkway, but these type of contractors tend not to specialize in interior stone repair, and most of their work is done outside. Although at Wye Valley Heritage we are equipped to handle any kind of stone work.

The best advice is to find someone specializing in stone like us at Wye Valley Heritage refinishing and restoration as a trade: Stone restoration is more delicate work than what most masons do, so the contractor you should seek is one who does most of their work on already-built stone counters and floors. Many stone contractors only work on restoring and repairing old stone and do not do masonry construction. Our guys will have the kind of experience to do a very detailed job on your stone, and we are more aware of how to solve all problems with any of your surfaces that are stone for instance staining, chips, and cracks.

When searching your locality for these contractors in the Herefordshire area or surrounding areas, search Google for "stone repair", "stone restoration" or "marble and granite restoration" and you will be more likely to find us who do this particular type of stone work 100% of the time.

One advantage in having a professional do your stone work is that they can refinish the stone, repair it, and then professionally seal it using a silicon-based impregnator which is heated up so that it bonds with the stone. This creates a smooth surface and brings out the gloss, as well as providing a layer of protection against stains and damage that helps the stone last a lot longer. If you are having stone work done it is definitely worth the cost to get the stone sealed. Always remember that sometimes you can get an estimate based on the dimensions of the stone surface without them needing to visit.
