first restoration job

[cam_low]

To be fair I havent put the price in for this job. I have been asked to restore a victorian hallway floor yet I havent done any restoring before. At the end of the day I would like to learn, so if anyone can advise me how to do this I would be grateful.

What I have picked up from other posts is that the floor needs a fair few stages.

Aqua Mix Stripper, grit pads sealer etc.

Are there any specialist tools I will need.


Many thanks...

Ok a Rotary and a wet vac will make your life a whole lot easier. If it's not to big you should be fine by hand.

First if it's a older property and no DPM just be cautious of how much water you use as we do not want to cause the likes of efflorescence.

I know someone that does these every day I don't do them so often apart from next week but I like his formula.

He uses a High alkaline Cleaner first mixed with Hone 220 grit, then rinses vacs it then dilutes a acid to about 1.3 rinse and vacs then goes over the whole floor with klindex supershine soft no.3 (like a twister pad) then seals but this will depend on what the customer wants.
