Cleaning paint from a wooden stair case and from a floor

Our technicians were recently asked to clean paint from a formerly carpeted floor and staircase.

As you can see from the pictures, the staircase had several layers of paint applied to them over many years. Our team carefully stripped back the layers of paint before sanding and sealing with a non-slip sealer.

We made sure that the walls were covered in plastic on either side of the staircase before removing the paint, to avoid any staining to the hallway and walls.
