Stone grinding in the Perth Hills
Grinding is the more aggressive stage of mechanical stone restoration. It may be considered for substantial surface damage or unevenness, but is not appropriate for every floor.

Grinding removes material from the stone surface using selected abrasives. It can form the initial stage of a restoration process where wear or high spots are more severe. The amount that can safely be removed depends on the construction, tile thickness, stone type, cracks and underlying installation.
Grinding does not fix movement, failed substrates or structural cracks. Lippage correction needs specific assessment, and creating a flatter surface can reveal different colour or aggregate exposure. Honing and polishing may follow grinding to achieve the agreed finish.
Assessment and expected result
Before proposing grinding we consider installation condition, thickness, joints, adjacent surfaces and the final finish. A conservative treatment or repair may be more suitable.

Common question
Can all uneven stone tiles be ground level?
No. Tile thickness, lippage severity, substrate movement and installation defects can make grinding impractical or unsafe.
