Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning solutions covers a variety of Sandstone styles, covering common local sandstone like York stone and natural flagstone.
To start with,our professionals apply a strong Sandstone floor cleaner and degreaser on the tles. Our technicians allow the cleaner to dwell on the floor for about 20 minutes. A rotary scrubbing machine agitates the cleaner to lift the ingrained dirt.
We use clean water to wash away the scrubbing slurry. Our technicians repeat the scrubbing until it has released all of the soil it can. On honed Sandstone, one or two scrub and rinse steps is generally sufficient. Additional scrubbing and rinsing passes might possibly be required for tumbled Sandstone. After scrubbing, deep holes might still have dirt.
Pressure Rinsing Sandstone
A final hot pressure rinse cleaning step is usually required.
This unique combination of pressure and rotating nozzles frees stubborn soil that is immediatelly vacuumed off.
Pressurised rinsing gets rid of the residual impacted dirt.
Sandstone Restoration
Once the floor is clean, it may need further restoration.
Repairing Sandstone Tile Grout
Acid ingredients in grout cleaners could harm grout, causing it to be extremely porous so it soaks up stains. Deep grout can be deep cleaned and then over-grouted with new grout.
If the grout isn't more than 3 mm deep, we use diamond cutters clean out the old grout before re-grouting.
Removing existing grout and re-grouting is a costly job.
Cracks, chiped and damaged floor tiles can be repaired or replaced. The floor left to dry ready for putting on a sandstone sealer.
Sandstone Sealing
The sort of sealer to put on is based on the nature of the sub-floor.
Sealing If A Sandstone Floor Does Not Have A Damp Proof Layer.
In old properties and buildings, the Sandstone can be laid on sub-floors without a damp-proof membrane. In the United Kingdom there are lots of older homes with stone floors. This stone should allow the movement of miosture, therefore a breathable sealer is recommended. An impregnating sealer is preferred for these floors. In virtually all installs three or four coats of impregnating sealer will be ample to prevent spills soaking into the Sandstone. One layer of impregnating sealer is not enough to protect these kinds of floors.
Sealing Sandstone Floors Installed On A Damp Proofed Sub-Floor.
If you prefer to keep the original finish, impregnating sealers will be practical.
Surface sealers are also available for Sandstone.
A surface sealer sits over the surface of the Sandstone, providing spill and abrasion protection.
Acids cause less immediate damage to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and damage the Sandstone.
The membrane acts as a wear Film, accepting wear from foot traffic instead of the Sandstone itself.
A surface sealer applied after an impregnating sealer delivers greater protection.
The impregnating sealer will help to protect the Sandstone in places where the original sealer wears away.
A surface sealer can continue working for 2 to 4 years before it needs topping up.
A six month check-up on high wear areas is encouraged.
If a place is showing traffic, deep clean the location to eliminate surface soil.
Top the region up with a couple of coats of sealer.
This advice could make your sealer endure considerably longer.
