Professional VCT Floor Care & Stripping Services Scotland

This depends on foot traffic, but typically high-traffic commercial spaces require a full strip and seal every 12 to 18 months, with regular buffing in between to maintain the shine. We tailor the schedule to your specific environment: annual full strip for entrances, lift lobbies, retail aisles, school corridors, and hospital wards; biennial strip for medium-traffic office corridors and meeting rooms; quarterly scrub-and-recoat top-up to extend polish life by 6-12 months between full strips; and daily, weekly, or monthly burnish programmes (high-speed 1500-2000 RPM with hogs-hair pad) to keep the “wet-look” gloss between maintenance visits. Gloss meter readings taken every quarter tell us when polish depth is dropping and a top-up is needed — before yellowing or scuffing becomes visible to your staff or visitors. We never strip before it is needed (over-stripping shortens VCT life) and we never delay a strip past the point where polish failure would damage the bare tile.

Absolutely. MaundyClean is a fully insured and certified professional cleaning company with extensive experience in both residential and commercial flooring sectors. We carry £5m public liability as standard — covering VCT, linoleum, rubber, terrazzo, sealed concrete, natural stone, and resilient surface floors — and every VCT specialist is PVG-checked (essential for schools, nurseries, hospitals, GP surgeries, dental practices, and any building where staff, patients, or visitors are present), uniformed, and trained in VCT-specific protocols: stripping, refinishing, multi-layer waxing, high-speed burnishing, high-solids sealing, edge & corner detailing, slip-resistant treatment, and stain removal. We hold full employer’s liability, professional indemnity, and contingent employer’s liability, and we can name your business on our policy as additional insured — a common requirement for facilities management contracts, head-lease landlord approvals, retail-chain compliance, and corporate insurance files. Our documentation is audit-ready for environmental health inspection, HSE review, and operations director review; we provide signed VCT care logs, gloss meter readings, RAMS, COSHH datasheets, training records, and vetting records (PVG) for your compliance file.

Yes. We supply all our own heavy-duty cleaning machines and professional-grade stripping chemicals, which are included in your competitive quote. From low-speed rotary machines (175 RPM) for stripping and deep scrubbing, high-speed burnishers (1500-2000 RPM) for the “wet-look” high-gloss shine, HEPA-filtered wet/dry vacuums for slurry pickup, air movers for fast curing between polish coats, gloss meters for objective 60-degree GU measurement, and colour-coded pad systems (black strip, green heavy scrub, red light scrub, white polish, hogs-hair burnish) to prevent cross-contamination between zones. Chemistry is matched to floor type and environment — alkaline stripper for VCT, low-VOC polish formulations for occupied buildings, EN 14476 virucidal disinfectant for clinical VCT zones, slip-resistant polish additives for wet zones, and fragrance-free child-safe maintenance cleaners for schools and nurseries. COSHH-documented chemistry on file. Non-toxic, biodegradable, surface-safe by default. You provide the floor and the access; we provide everything else — machinery, chemistry, pads, PPE, signage, and the crew trained to use all of it.
