Before you decide
VCT & Terrazzo Floor Care: your questions.
Practical answers for planning the work at your property.
What does vct & terrazzo floor care include?
VCT work may include stripping and applying a compatible finish. Current terrazzo service is limited to stripping and recoating, using equipment and products selected for the existing floor system.
Do VCT and terrazzo need the same finish?
No. VCT and terrazzo require separate product and maintenance decisions based on the existing system and manufacturer guidance.
Which terrazzo treatments do you offer?
Black Ops currently offers terrazzo stripping and recoating. Grinding, honing, polishing and other restoration methods are not currently offered.
Is stripping needed at every visit?
No. The condition and maintenance specification may call for cleaning or a scrub and recoat instead. Full stripping is assessed separately.
Can finish work repair cracks or damaged tiles?
No. Finish work does not repair cracks, loose tiles or structural damage. Repair responsibilities should be agreed separately.
When can the floor reopen?
Drying and curing depend on the finish system and site conditions. Agree pedestrian and furniture return times before work starts.
How is the quotation prepared?
The vct & terrazzo floor care proposal is based on the space, the tasks and access arrangements discussed at the assessment. The written scope and price are reviewed before work is agreed.
What information helps with an initial enquiry?
Provide the floor type, approximate area and available care instructions. Include a contact number or email and the property location.
Can I discuss a particular access window?
Yes. Explain preferred times, occupied areas and any building restrictions. Scheduling depends on the scope and confirmed availability.
