Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning services deal with a selection of Sandstone styles, such as traditional local sandstone like York stone and natural flagstone.
Our specialists use a strong Sandstone floor cleaner. Then Our technicians leave the cleaner for about 20 minutes to break up the greasy dirt. Our technicians use an industrial scrubbing machine to work the cleaner deep to the tiles.
Our specialists rinse the floor with clean water and vacuum up the slurry. We repeat the process until the floor looks clean. On honed Sandstone, 1 or 2 scrubbing and rinsing steps is normally sufficient. More cleaning passes could very well be required on tumbled Sandstone. Rotary scrubbing may well not take out all ingrained dirt.
Pressure Rinsing Sandstone
The final phase with cleaning Sandstone tiles, is named hot rinse and extraction.
Pressurised clean water is driven in to the Sandstone, releasing the ingrained soil, that is completely vacuumed off.
The Sandstone floor is now nice and clean.
Sandstone Restoration
After removing the soil, the floor may need further sandstone restoration.
Repairing Sandstone Floor Grout
Powerful cleaning chemicals and spills can permanently damage the color of a grout. If the grout lies over four mm deep, new grout can be applied on the top of existing grout.
If the grout is not more than 3 mm deep, we use diamond cutting tools to take out the existing grout before re-grouting.
Regrouting and removing old grout is costly work.
Chips, cracks and damaged floor tiles can be repaired or replaced. The Sandstone floor tiles are left to dry ready for applying the sandstone sealer.
Sandstone Sealing
Before sealing the Sandstone, the installation condition must be assessed.
Sealing Floors That Do Not Have A Damp Proof Membrane
In old properties, stone floors were put down using no a damp-proof layer. In the United Kingdom there are lots of older homes with stone floors. Any sealer will require to permit the free movement of moisture through the Sandstone. In this situation, we choose a penetrating impregnating sealer. Sandstone will need to to have three or more coats of impregnating sealer. Sadly, plenty of contractors apply only 1 coat, which usually leads to troubles at a later time.
Sealing Sandstone Floors Set Upon A Damp Proofed Sub-Floor.
An impregnating sealer will not change a matt or sheen finish.
Surface sealers are also at your disposal for Sandstone.
A surface sealer stays over the top 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 wear the Sandstone.
Surface sealers render extra protection for the Sandstone and the grout.
A surface sealer used after an impregnating sealer brings better protection.
The impregnating sealer helps to protect wear places.
Surface sealers typically keep going for two to four years.
Ideally, inspect wear every half a year.
If an area is displaying traffic, deep clean the region to get rid of soil.
Top the location up with a couple of coats of sealer.
If you do this, your sealer can last much longer.
