Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning solutions deal with a variety of Sandstone types, among them traditional local sandstone like York stone and natural flagstone.
Our technicians apply a strong Sandstone floor cleaner onto the floor. Our technicians allow the cleaning chemical to dwell on the floor for around 20 minutes. Scrubbing equipment removes the soil out from the Sandstone.
We use water to rinse away the cleaning slurry. Keep scrubbing plus rinsing until the floor is clean. With honed Sandstone, 1 or 2 scrubbing and rinsing steps is generally sufficient. Tumbled Sandstone usually needs more cleaning passes. After scrubbing and rinsing, deep holes may continue to have soil.
Pressure Rinsing Sandstone
The last step with cleaning Sandstone tiles, is called hot rinsing.
Pressurised water is powered into the stone pores, expelling the impacted soil, that's immediately vacuumed away.
It is surprising how much extra soil this pressure rinsing process takes out.
Sandstone Restoration
Once the floor is clean, it may need further restoration.
Sandstone Floor Grout Repair
Sometimes Sandstone grout is stained from spillages, or loses its finish from intense cleaning and damage from powerful cleaning chemicals. more than deep set grout will help solve this problem.
If the damaged grout isn't very deep, it may be removed using diamond cutters and then re-grouted.
Expenses can increase if grout has to be removed and the area regrouted.
Cracks, damaged and chipped tiles can be repaired or replaced. The floor tiles are left to dry overnight before putting on a sandstone sealer.
Sandstone Sealing
Evaluating the underlying floor will determine the type of sealer to use.
Sealing Floors Without Having A Damp-Proof Membrane Film
Stone floors in old houses were not usually installed over a damp-proof membrane Film. In the UK there are lots of older residential properties with stone floors. Any sealer will have to permit the free movement of moisture through the Sandstone. An impregnating sealer is best for these floors. Generally, 3 or more coats will be required. When too little sealer is put on, the sealer will not shield the floor.
Sealing Sandstone Floors Laid Upon A Damp Proofed Sub-Floor.
Impregnating sealers will maintain the original look.
Surface sealers are also at your disposal for Sandstone.
Surface sealers produce a protective film on the surface of the Sandstone.
Acids cause less immediate wear to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and damage the Sandstone.
They produce a clear, protective layer over the stone.
A surface sealer may be used over an impregnating sealer for extra protection.
The impregnating sealer will help to protect the Sandstone in areas where the original sealer wears away.
A surface sealer will have to be topped-up after 2 to four years.
We suggest inspecting traffic areas every six months for traffic.
Areas showing wear should be deep cleaned.
Then top the area up with a couple of coats of sealer.
This advice will likely make your sealer work for considerably longer.
