We got called out to look at this dirty and dull Black and White VictorianFloor which was located outside under a roof in Chorlton. Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester
is popular with trendy young professionals, leafy Chorlton proudly boasts a wealth of independent shops and cafes both in and around Chorlton Cross and along Beech Road. By night, visitors come from across the city to drink craft beers in the suburb's bustling bars. But there is another side to Chorlton - Chorlton Park is among Manchester's most deprived wards while fried chicken restaurants sit alongside exclusive shops and bars on Wilbraham Road.
This victorian floor in Chorlton didn't see any maintenance for years and when our customer bought it, they were keen to get it restored. We quickly agreed on price and dates with customer.
For Cleaning this Victorian FloorTiles I used a strong mix of our alkaline cleaner and 200 grit burnishing pad. I left the cleaning solution to dwell in the tile floor for about 10 minutes and then followed by scrubbing the floor with 200 grit burnishing pad. After burnishing I removed all soiled water with wet vacuum and gave another rinse. This system worked as a treat to be honest.
Problem I had with this job was the actual tiling work and the size of the victorian tiles. Some places were uneven and the large burnishing pad didn't get to all corners. So I had to get on my hands and knees, use my hand burnishing pad and alkaline cleaner to clean the corners and bits that didn't go clean with the first clean. All this was followed by treating the floor with acid cleaner to prevent efflorescence
(Salt Minerals) coming up and then rinsed again with water.
All Victorian Tiles Cleaned, I left the floor to day till the next day.
Next day on the arrival I quickly checked the damp levels on the tiles and luckily there was no damp due to beautiful weather. For sealingI used a matt colour enhancing impregnating sealer which penetrates in the surface. This is the only sealer you can use outside to be honest because it's breathable and let's efflorescence (salt minerals) through if it should come up in winter time.
I applied 3 coats in total and after each coat the sealer residue got wiped off with soft cotton cloths.
I think it's safe to say, the result on this Victorian Floor Restoration was simply amazing! We left another happy customer behind.
