Strip & Seal / Cut & Polish
Professional floor restoration for vinyl and appropriate hard-floor surfaces. Servicing Brisbane and surrounding areas.
Service Overview
Strip and seal (also known as cut and polish on some surfaces) is a full floor restoration process for vinyl and other appropriate hard-floor surfaces that have lost their finish through wear. Calyon has undertaken this work covering machine scrubbing of vinyl and tiled surfaces, removal of ground-in dirt and grime, neutralisation and rinsing, floor preparation, resealing with multiple base coats, and multiple top coats for high-traffic floor treatment.
What This Addresses
- Floors that no longer respond to routine scrubbing or polishing
- Visible traffic lanes, dullness or discolouration in the existing finish
- A finish that has broken down and is exposing the underlying floor to damage
- Floors due for restoration before a lease changeover or major event
What's Included
- Machine scrubbing of vinyl and tiled surfaces
- Removal of dirt, grime and old finish build-up
- Neutralisation and thorough rinsing
- Floor preparation for resealing
- Application of multiple base coats
- Application of multiple top coats for high-traffic durability
Suitable Property Types
- Commercial vinyl floors
- Tiled corridors and lobbies
- Healthcare and aged-care floors
- Retail floors due for restoration
Servicing Brisbane
Strip and seal projects across Brisbane are typically scheduled overnight or on weekends to minimise disruption, with local crews familiar with the vinyl and tile surfaces common in Brisbane commercial buildings.
Our Approach
The floor is fully assessed before work begins to confirm the surface type and current condition. Old finish and ground-in soil are stripped back, the floor is neutralised and rinsed, then rebuilt with base and top coats calculated for the site's traffic levels — not a one-size-fits-all number of coats.
Equipment & Process
Low-speed scrubbing machines for stripping, wet vacuums for rinsing and extraction, and applicators suited to even, streak-free coat application.
Quality Controls
Each coat is inspected for even coverage and cure time before the next is applied, and the finished floor is checked for consistency across the full area before sign-off.
Scheduling
Strip and seal work is scheduled as a project, typically after-hours or over a weekend, with drying and cure times factored into the site handover.
Safety Considerations
Work is carried out following documented safe work procedures, appropriate PPE and, where relevant, exclusion signage and access controls. See our approach to safety for more detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a floor need to be stripped and sealed?+
This depends heavily on traffic and the maintenance program in place between restorations — a floor care program can extend the interval considerably.
How long before we can use the floor again?+
Cure times vary by product and number of coats; this is confirmed as part of project scheduling so the site handover is planned around it.
Do you service all of Brisbane?+
