Looks like something has rusted on the stone.  Doesn't the customer know?  It also looks like you have either grout haze or trapped efflorescence as well ::)roll

it is not a customer of mine it belongs to a lady my wife works for and as we are staying here for the next eight days (my wife is looking after the house  / kids) i thought i would try and find out if the it was done properly.

the floor has been down for about eight months and has never looked good to me but i am not in a position to say anything as i don't know what I'm talking about.

i do not even know what the flooring is ? so if you can tell me what you think it is and what you think of the product used and the finish she has i would be grateful.

by the way i do not think it is rust as it is on the flooring in a number of places. the guy who laid the floor was a builder and he applied the sealer

All you can do is some tests!  Some friendly advice as well

I would not get involved personally but it ultimately has to be your decision

It deffo needs doing it will probably come up a treat with some honing powder and high alkaline and then sealed properly.  By the way as regards the stone it looks like a Chiselled Edge Limestone of some sorts to me.
