Had a really unusual and tough job last week. Small sheets of glass mosaics were applied to the floor and walls and to the entrance of a unit block. They looked great but the problem was-
1. The floor becomes like a skating rink when wet.
2.The tiler applied a coating sealant to the wall which had started flaking off and looked terrible.
Solution:
1. Anti-slip floor which worked great. A maintenance schedule will be left to help keep the anti-slip maintained.
2. The coating sealant was completely wrong. First we had to strip the walls of all sealant. This took a long time but if you don’t get it 100% stripped and clean there will be trouble down the line. We then neutralized and thoroughly cleaned the walls with S4S marble cleaner. When dried we applied 2 x coats of marble sealer and wiped off the excess. The results speak for themselves (note photo). All they will need now is a hose to clean them down.
Finished last 20m2 this morning. Couldn’t do it in one day as we had to move the furniture onto completed area to finish the last small area. While at smoko, quoted a concrete grind. I did a bit of this years ago. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so at least it will fill the day in.
It is 45m2, an old restaurant . In the afternoon we went and did a job I quoted months ago. A couple of crooks broke into a unit and stole the washing machine and dryer. They scratched the Travertine floor in the process. We hand sanded then repolished the floor. It wasn’t highly polished just a sort of semi-polish. We then washed the floor with S4S. The marble cleaning product S4S washes neutralizes all in one, great when there are so many germs around (like swine flu). Lastly drying then sealing, all great.
Good day today. Clean and seal 60m2 Limestone internal and external around pool area. They had a bit of mould growth here and there so we pre-cleaned with a mix 1st liquid chlorine to 1ltr cold water.
I machined scrubbed with S4S on all the limestone tiles. This will thoroughly clean and neutralize as you scrub. [...]
What a day. Matt and I did half a day preparing outside limestone so that its ready to seal tomorrow. Then got ready too go to Louis Vuitton to do our regular maintenance work on their store.
We have to clean and anti-graffiti the outside of the store. This means an S4S wash with warm – [...]
I did 2 x ensuite plus bathroom plus powder room to clean and seal. All Limestone highly polished. Using the correct marble cleaning products is essential. S4S cleans great, it neutralizes the stone and prepares it for sealing. Then I make sure it is dried thoroughly with clean white towels.
When all the stone is completely [...]
