Testimonials

My mother's tiles were old and ugly, as she has been living in the same house her entire life without ever really taking care of her tiles. I called Tile Cleaners to get advice on what to do with them. They came to her house the next day to have a look at my mum's tiles. I am very satisfied with how patient and highly professional you were with my mother. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you arrived, and I am really impressed by how you managed to explain everything to my mom and help her out. Thank you for doing a great job.

I have several different freshly laid tiles in my new house. All pathways have stone tiles and there are marble tiles in the bathrooms and porcelain in the kitchen. I needed to get them sealed and was not sure if it was possible to seal them all. I contacted Tile Cleaners because my dad recommended them. He had a similar situation in his house and was very happy with the job Tile Cleaners had done. I was very worried about my tiles since they were brand new and very expensive. Tile Cleaners team were very patient with me, explaining how they were going to apply the sealer on different types of tiles, what sealer they would use, how long it would last for and advised me on how to take care of my tiles. I called Tile Cleaners a few times confirming details, asking for prices, making sure they could to the job during the weekend etc. The guys were amazingly patient and helpful. When I had gathered all the information I wanted, I was ready to go ahead. The work done by Tile Cleaners actually took less time than what it took me looking for information about it. Sorry for the pain I caused, and again thank you.

We got our tiles more than 25 years ago. We were told that we had a solvent sealer on our tiles, which apparently most companies wouldn't be able to strip off. However we rang a couple of places to check them out. No luck. A friend of mine recommended Tile Cleaners. We rang the guys and they agreed to have a look the next day. We decided to go ahead with the job after getting a satisfactory quote. Tile Cleaners team stripped and resealed our old tiles. We are very grateful for your help guys. Thank you again.

Other FAQs :

Q: How often is it recommended to reseal vinyl or lino floors?
A: The recommended frequency for resealing vinyl or linoleum floors varies depending on factors like usage and foot traffic. Commercial floors, subject to heavy use, generally require resealing every one to two years to maintain their condition and protection. In residential settings, the frequency can range from every three to ten years, depending on the level of foot traffic and usage. Factors such as the quality of the sealer used and the application process also influence the longevity of the seal. Opting for professional sealing services ensures optimal results, extends the durability of the seal, and can potentially save time and money in the long term.

Q: Does your service include repairs for vinyl and linoleum flooring?
A: We do not provide repairs for damages such as cuts and scratches. However, we offer a comprehensive stripping, cleaning, and sealing process that can help restore your vinyl flooring. In some cases, our buffing and polishing techniques can minimize the appearance of small scratches. However, please note that deep scratches may still be visible even after the restoration process.

Q: How long does it typically take to reseal vinyl or linoleum floors?
A: The time required to reseal vinyl or linoleum floors can vary based on the size of the area being sealed. On average, most projects are completed within 4 to 8 hours. At our company, we prioritize efficiency by aiming to complete the stripping, cleaning, and resealing processes in a single day. This approach eliminates the need for multiple appointments and ensures a smooth experience for our customers. Our dedicated team works diligently to complete the resealing process within a reasonable timeframe, allowing you to enjoy your revitalized vinyl or linoleum floors as soon as possible.

Q: What should I expect in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my vinyl or linoleum floors?
A: Our professional team will guide you through each step of the job, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the process. Firstly, any previous sealer, if present, will be stripped off. Next, the vinyl or linoleum surface will undergo a thorough cleaning and neutralization process to remove dust, residue, and any other elements that may affect the new sealer. Once the surface is dry, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied and allowed to set. As a result, your newly sealed vinyl or linoleum floors will regain their appearance, receive protection, and become easier to maintain.

Q: Can vinyl or linoleum floors be stripped too frequently?
A: It is recommended to strip residential vinyl or linoleum floors every 3-10 years, while commercial floors may require stripping every 1-3 years. However, it is important to note that excessive stripping can potentially damage the floors. To maintain a fresh appearance, regular buffing and polishing are preferable as they help preserve the floors' new look.
