FAqs
How to polish concrete floors?
Polishing concrete floors involves grinding the surface with diamond-impregnated pads or discs to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. The process starts with removing any existing coatings and imperfections, followed by smoothing and polishing the surface. Finally, a concrete densifier may be applied to harden the surface, and a sealant is used to protect the polished floor.
How much does floor polishing cost?

How long does floor polish take to dry?
The drying time for floor polish can vary depending on the product used, the temperature, and humidity levels. Typically, it takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the polish to dry to the touch, but it's recommended to wait at least 24 hours before allowing heavy traffic or placing furniture on the floor.
What is diamond polishing?
Diamond polishing is a process used primarily on stone and concrete floors, involving mechanical grinding with diamond-impregnated pads or discs to achieve a smooth and shiny surface. This method removes a thin layer from the surface, smoothing out imperfections and restoring the material's natural luster.
What is the most durable floor polish?
The most durable floor polish is typically a polyurethane-based product, which provides a hard, protective layer that is resistant to scratches, scuffs, and spills. Polyurethane polishes are ideal for high-traffic areas and can last for several years before needing a recoat, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial floors.
How to polish wood floors?
Polishing wood floors typically involves cleaning the surface thoroughly, then applying a wood floor polish or wax. For deeper polishing, the process may include lightly sanding the floor to remove scratches and imperfections, cleaning to remove dust, and then applying a new finish or sealant to protect the wood and give it a shiny appearance.
How do you professionally clean grout?
Classic London professional grout cleaning service involves using specialised cleaning solutions and equipment, such as grout brushes, steam cleaners, or grout-specific cleaning agents, to remove dirt, grime, and mildew. The process may also include applying a sealant after cleaning to protect the grout from future staining and make it easier to clean.
How often should a floor be buffed?
The frequency of floor buffing depends on the type of floor and the amount of foot traffic it receives. Generally, commercial floors in high-traffic areas may need buffing monthly, while residential floors might only require it once or twice a year to maintain their shine and finish.
What is the difference between floor wax and floor polish?
Floor wax is a traditional protective coating made from natural waxes, which provides a shine and layer of protection against scratches and wear. Floor polish, on the other hand, is usually a water-based product designed to give floors a high-gloss finish and can also offer some protection but is generally easier to apply and maintain than wax.
Can countertops be polished?
Yes, countertops made from materials like granite, marble, and quartz can be polished to restore their shine and remove scratches or etches. The polishing process usually involves using a series of fine abrasives and a polishing compound to achieve a smooth, glossy finish, significantly improving the countertop's appearance and extending its lifespan.
