A Frome specialist lifts, cleans and relays historic flagstone floors in Somerset, using reclaimed stone and breathable bases.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.
For
Owners of period houses with failing flagstone floors
Worth noticing
Flags are chalk-numbered and mapped before lifting, then stored on edge in sequence to reduce breakage and preserve their original placement.

Field notes

The page breaks down the work into lifting and numbering, cleaning, base preparation and matching missing stone. It argues that many failures begin beneath the flags, pointing to cement screeds, washed-out sand and underfloor heating without movement allowance. Rates are presented as 2026 figures, VAT included, while the final quote depends on seeing the floor.
