VICTORIAN HALLWAY TILES RESTORATION IN HALE, MANCHESTER, WA15

Quality Tile Care • Oct 21, 2019

Victorian Tiled Floor Cleaning and Sealing in Hale

From their origins in Gothic Revival architecture to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution, Victoriantiles have stood the test of time. Today, they remain as fashionable as when they first came into style in the 19th century, but the story of this timeless geometric trend is one that has certainly developed over the past two centuries.
We got exited straight away when we received a call from our customer about restorating victorian hallway in Hale, Manchester.
On our free survey visit, we completed a cleaning test and our customer was amazed by the results, meaning we got booked in on the spot.

Victorian Tile Floor Restoration

Cleaning Victorian Tiled Hallway

For cleaning this beautiful Victorian Floor we used ourGrout Clean-Up product. It contains concentrated phosphoric acid and cleaner designed to penetrate below the surface to remove light grout smears (grout haze), mineral deposits, rust stains and efflorescence. This product is also effective for the removal of most hard water stains, lime deposits and soap scum.
Product got sprayed on floor and left to dwell for about 15 minutes. This was followed up by carefully scrubbing the Victorian tile floor with scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine. After scrubbing the floor with machine, we had to go over the edges with our hand scrubbing pads, as we didn't want to ruin these feshly painted skirting boards.
After chemical cleaning we used our 200 grit diamond burnishing pad to remove any of the last sealer left on/in 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 - corners and edges.
After all plaster, paint and cement was removed from this floor, we left it to dry for two days.

Victorian Hallway Sealing

On return first thing we did was checking dampness in tiles with our damp tester. It had been a nice weather but still after two days of drying we found few damp areas that needed drying with our heatguns.
Damp removed we started sealing. For sealing we used our 2 sealer system - first sealing with impregnating sealer and then with topical sealer. This system seals the floor inside out and leaves a much more enhances look then any of the sealers alone.

First we sealed with colour enhancing impregnating sealer, we added 2 coats as this floor was really drinking it. After each coat we polished off any sealer excess from tiles with soft cotton cloths. Sealing finished with impregnating sealer we had to give it couple hours drying time, meaning we got a longer lunch this time around.
Next up we sealed the floor with our topical sealer which is water based blend of acrylic polymers that provides both a stain resistant surface seal and a durable low-sheen finish. Topical sealer got applied on with paint pad and floor took three coats in total with half an hour drying time between coats.
