How to Deep Clean Old Tile Installations

I recently worked on a 1940s period Art Deco bathroom at a house in Leeds which I was very impressed by. The Ceramic tiling had been expertly laid and you have to admire the craftsmanship of the tiler considering they didn’t have the modern adhesive products and equipment we have today. The owner wanted the tiles given a deep clean, unfortunately on this occasion I forgot to take a picture before starting.

This really was a stunning example of an original bathroom. The ceramic tiles were of a very high quality and must have been designed and made to order to fit the room. The tiles were all original and had no cracks or tiles that were missing. The client had lived in the property for some time and they were keen to ensure the bathroom was maintained properly. I discussed with them that is was relatively easy job to get the tiles cleaned and as there was no grout the job would be straight forward.

Cleaning a Ceramic Tiled Bathroom

To clean the tiles, I decided to use Tile Doctor Duo Clean which is a fast and effective double action grout cleaner and mould remover. It cleans up grout and can remove mould and blackspot from grout and silicone. In this instance the tiles had been butt fitted so there was no grout to clean, this was a common practice in the past, but it is rare to see nowadays. I carefully worked the cleaner in with a six-inch white pad fitted to a hand buffer and then rinsed off with slightly soapy warm water. The soil was then extracted using the wet vacuum to keep the mess to a minimum. A tall step ladder was needed to reach the top third of the room as it was 12 feet tall. The high ceilings were a feature in the whole property which was stunning.

Sealing a Ceramic Tiled Bathroom

Once the tiles were almost dry, I then went over them with a clean white cloth to leave the surface smear free. Now normally I would look to apply a sealer at this point but due to the glazed nature of the ceramic tiles, this wasn’t necessary.

This wasn’t the most difficult job you will find described on my website but it’s certainly one of my favourites which is why I felt I should share it. The client was very happy with the bathroom and I can completely understand given the height of the walls the decision to call someone in to clean it.

York Castle Museum Redevelopment News

6th August 2021 – Global hospitality design specialist Dexter Moren Associates (DMA) is celebrating the opening of Malmaison York, a 150-room luxury hotel that boasts York’s highest rooftop bar with breath-taking views of York Minster and the historic city beyond.

Working closely with York-based developer North Star, Project Manager Gleeds and brand and operator Malmaison on behalf of the project’s funder Lothbury, DMA’s interior design concept for the transformation of the former Yorkshire House building in Rougier Street takes inspiration directly from the 1960’s brutalist architecture of the existing structure, as well as York’s strong links with confectionary manufacturing.

Lindsey Bean-Pearce, Head of Interior Design at DMA, explains: “Our philosophy is to create original and unique designs specific to the requirements of each individual project. We draw our design inspiration from a building’s context and local neighbourhood to create spaces with longevity that are authentic and, above all, have character. Our design for Malmaison York sensitively retains and refurbishes this concrete building to celebrate the architecture and vibrancy of the sixties, unlocking the beauty of this once austere office block to create a truly memorable hotel.”

Locally known as the Aviva building, the 1960s brutalist structure truly reflects the principles of the mid-century style and features eight levels of concrete floorplates, façade and waffle ceilings that have been sensitively retained and restored where possible as an integral part of the scheme.

Yves Klein blue painted concrete waffle ceilings feature in the reception, bar & restaurant and breakout spaces, and sit alongside bold block colour mid-century graphic inspired rugs and upholsteries. These stronger elements are accented by a more pared back base palette including terrazzo and timber flooring as well as black stained oak panelling and black lavastone bar fronts.

A bespoke feature acrylic rod chandelier welcomes guests into the reception, while brass ‘flower pot’ pendants by Sixties icon Verner Panton sit adjacent to the façade of the building throughout the bar and restaurant space. DMA collaborated with Malmaison and art consultancy Elegant Clutter to develop the concept for the artwork which features extensively throughout the hotel, with inspiration taken from Sixties greats such as Warhol, Hockney, Lichtenstein and Yves Klein.

Both the reception and bar spaces connect to the signature Malmaison Work+Play in a new extension to the rear of the building. The area features bookable meeting pods, extensive breakout spaces and self-service kitchens which all receive daylight from a centrally located clerestory. The conference rooms and ballroom have been optimised to create divisible multifunctional spaces with feature marquetry veneer wallcovering and signature artworks.

Guestrooms

DMA, North Star and Malmaison spent considerable collaboration time building sample guestrooms to test the layouts and maximise the space within the existing building’s rigid concrete shell and core. Room layouts were designed to be wider rather than longer, allowing beds to be located opposite windows and take full advantage of the views of York Minster and the River Ouse.

“The idea behind the space planning of the rooms is to walk in and it be completely open,” explains David Harte, Associate and lead designer on the project. “By deconstructing the standard box-like bathroom, and utilising the wide rooms we were able to position the beds opposite the windows and create a wide vanity with glazing above for privacy yet create openness and maximise the views and daylight for the guests at every level.”

Within the guestrooms, dark stained maple millwork sits on grey marble tiling. Recycled coconut shell marmoleum-lined walls meet part-height glazing and amber-tinted glass shower enclosures. Tan leather upholstery is punctuated with black metalwork and bronze accents. Yves Klein blue, burnt orange, mustard yellow and the signature Malmaison pink – all key colours of the Sixties – are playfully positioned as accents throughout, whilst bold geometric patterns are applied in the wallcovering and fabrics to further bolster the link to the brutalist architecture and design of the 1960s. Each guestroom has a feature artwork panel which conceals the TV, designed by Elegant Clutter which references the alchemy behind the making of the famous fruit pastille of the nearby Rowntree’s factory and is complemented by smaller brutalist architecture inspired framed pieces.

Rooftop Bar

The seventh floor of the hotel boasts Sora, a wrap-around destination restaurant and bar with panoramic views of York. The bar is purposely set lower to allow for guests to have uninterrupted views of York Minster when ordering beverages.

It is reached by a dedicated express lift lined in gold metal and a smoked oak floor. On arrival guests are greeted by a large bespoke moveable glass wall; designed meticulously with North Star’s joinery division, each fluted glass panel features a swivel mechanism to obscure or reveal the view beyond and create a bespoke view and artwork each day for guests.

Conceptually, the space is separate from the hotel, focusing on the industrial heritage and extensive green spaces of York. Nature inspired upholsteries and soft furnishings contrast against crittall dividing screens. The spaces are designed with the view in mind, with the main features – the bar and striped feature ceiling to the centre of the space directing the guest’s gaze towards York Minster.

Boiler Replacement And Bathroom Renovation

Replacement Of Old Boiler Plus Full Bathroom Renovation Leeds

This month one of our jobs was to replace an old Gas Boiler and also renovate the bathroom for a client in Leeds.

First course of action was to remove the old tired bathroom suite and existing tiles from the walls and the old boiler.

The bathroom was then fully re-plastered, walls and ceiling, and a new bathroom suite with over bath shower and heated towel rail completed the bathroom renovation.

To give the client more storage space in the bathroom we created a small cupboard, which was also used to house the new boiler.

The old boiler was replaced with a new Ideal Logic Plus 30 kw boiler with wireless heating controls.

While replacing the boiler we also changed the filters and gave the central heating system a power flush to remove any debris that will have built up throughout the years the old system has been in place.

For more information on bathroom renovations and boiler installations we do in the Leeds Area call 01977 520627 or visit our Boiler Services page
