Polished concrete floor restoration service in North London Crouch End N4
We can refurbish your concrete floors and worksurfaces bringing them back to former glory. This process involves alkaline detergent clean and strip followed by polishing with diamond pads to either high or low sheen depending on the customers preference. The concrete is thoroughly sealed and buffed after polishing.
This process removes most surface contamination , grease grime etc. It takes out light etching and scratches and resets the concrete surface making it look new again. Concrete is very porous so unsealed concrete with deep bad staining will get much better but not every stain will completely come out. This is why its very important to be on the ball with topping up your concrete floor seals and understanding how to maintain those seals with PH neutral cleaning and the use of certain products to enhance the seal. I usually discuss all the maintenance in length with my customers to give them everything they need to keep their concrete looking great.
Resurfacing concrete floor refurbishment info
Concrete floors can be a bit tricky to resurface because unlike natural stone they sometimes have surface coatings that dont go all the way through. Some concrete floors have the aggregate (little stones in the mix) exposed , these are easier as they are in their natural state and one can be as aggressive as required with the resurfacing stage. On the other hand concrete floors that have been power floated and with no aggregate visible can not be resurfaced aggressively or the aggregate will start showing in patches and the floor can change colour where it cuts through.
The floor in the pic above was power floated with no aggregate showing through so I applied very light polishing from (800grt) upwards. This use of non aggressive diamond polishing pads ensured I did not cut down too deep thus not changing the look of the floor by going through the laitance to expose aggregate.
