Belfast City Hall Mosaic Floors – by Diespeker!

We were recently approached by a researcher from Belfast City Hall who was interested in finding out about our connection, as ‘Diespeker Ltd, London’ was listed in the Belfast City Hall Monograph (published 1906) as being the contractors for the mosaic paving. We were pleased to help out with some information, and, as a result, the following article has recently been published in the City Matters magazine which is distributed […]

It is, of course, difficult to be entirely sure that a

Not one to miss out on an opportunity for anything terrazzo-related, our MD John Krause asked the

Cleaning your terrazzo worktop with confidence! Diespeker’s new neutral cleaner

We recently launched our first ‘own brand’ maintenance product, Diespeker anti-stain protection. It’s gone down so well that we decided to expand the range with a neutral detergent for daily cleaning. Although durable, terrazzo also needs a good dose of TLC to keep it looking at its best. When cleaning the surface, it’s important to avoid using any harsh chemicals as these can cause discoloration – in much the same
