Professional Terrazzo & Cabro Maintenance Services in Kenya

Terrazzo and cabro are investments, not just surfaces — both cost significantly more than standard flooring and paving because they are meant to last decades and look better with proper care, not worse. Most maintenance services in Kenya treat the two as an afterthought, mentioned briefly alongside general cleaning. Ray Cleaners and Management Services treats terrazzo and cabro maintenance as their own discipline, because polishing a marble-chip floor and restoring an outdoor paved driveway require completely different equipment, products, and technique.

Terrazzo maintenance

Terrazzo is a composite surface — marble, granite, or glass chips set in cement or resin — and over time, foot traffic and routine cleaning alone leave it dull, scratched, and stained. Restoring it properly involves:

Deep cleaning
Removing built-up grime and old sealant residue that standard mopping cannot lift, especially from terrazzo's naturally porous surface.

Diamond grinding
Leveling the surface and removing scratches or imperfections using diamond grinding pads, the same method used in original installation finishing.

Multi-stage polishing
Progressively finer polishing passes to bring back the glossy, original shine, not a single quick buff.

Sealing
Applying a protective sealant that guards against future staining and moisture damage, extending the time before the next full restoration is needed.

Cabro maintenance

Cabro paving faces a different set of problems — outdoor exposure, vehicle and foot traffic, weed growth between blocks, and dirt that works its way into the joints over time. Our cabro maintenance covers:

Surface cleaning and polishing
Removing dirt, grime, oil stains, and discoloration to restore the paving's original color and shine.

Joint and weed treatment
Clearing growth between blocks that, left unaddressed, gradually shifts and damages the paving.

Resanding where needed
Replenishing the jointing sand that keeps cabro blocks stable and properly interlocked.

How often maintenance is actually needed

This depends entirely on foot traffic and exposure, not a fixed calendar date. A terrazzo floor in a quiet residential home needs far less frequent attention than the lobby of a commercial building. A cabro driveway exposed to vehicle traffic and rain needs more frequent care than a quiet garden path. The CEO assesses your specific surface and traffic levels personally before recommending a maintenance schedule, rather than applying a generic interval that does not reflect actual wear.

Who this is for

• Homeowners with terrazzo floors that have lost their original shine
• Commercial properties, hotels, and institutions with high-traffic terrazzo flooring
• Property owners with cabro driveways, compounds, or walkways showing dirt build-up or weed growth
• Anyone preparing a property for sale or rental who wants the flooring and paving to make a strong impression
• Property managers maintaining multiple buildings with terrazzo or cabro surfaces
