On this job we got contacted by a customer from Glossop
who found us from google
searching for Tile restoration service. Luckily for both of us, she found us. Handsome market town Glossop is the north western gateway to the Peak District and Derbyshire
- close to the rugged moorland and wide open spaces of the Dark Peak. Nestling at the foot of the famous Snake Pass, it's an excellent base for exploring some of the area's classic walking country, including Black Hill, Bleaklow, Kinder Scout and the Longdendale Valley.
She used our free survey service to get a quote. After cleaning tester was done on the floor, we agreed on price and booked dates for this victoriantile floor cleaning and sealing.
On arrival we started off cleaning victorian floor with our alkaline based cleaner. We made a strong mix and left it to dwell on the floor for about 15 minutes. This was followed up by scrubbing the Victorian tile floorwith scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine. Scrubbing finished we removed all soiled water with wet vacuum and rinsed the floor.
After chemical cleaning we used our 200 grit diamond burnishing pad to remove any of the last sealer left on floor and grind off any ingrained dirt from tiles. We used some water as a lubricant and removed all soiled water from floor with wet vacuum. As always machine doesn't do all the work so we had to get on hands and knees and used our diamond hand pad to go over places where machine didn't reach. Some had painted over white discoloured tiles with white paint, all these painted tiles needed scrubbing with 200 grit hand block.
When we were finished with victorian tiles cleaning we did an acid application to prevent any efflorescence
coming through the tile floor and then left the floor to dry till the next day.
On return we started sealing this Victorian Tile Floor
with water based topical sealer. Our topical sealer is film forming sealer, which leave a nice smooth and glossy finish.
To apply the topical sealer we used our paint pads. We added 4 coats till we got the desired result. In total this floor got sealed with six coats of different sealer, which makes it properly protected for years to come.
I think it's safe to say we made a pretty good improvement on this beautiful old floor.
Customer was over the moon with results, as she never expected her victorianhallway to look so good. She couldn't believe all the tile whites were sparkling white. We just love when we can make a difference for people!
