Floor Stripping and Sealing for Sydney Commercial Sites
Shoes, trolleys and daily mopping wear through floor sealer long before the floor underneath fails. When that happens, dirt gets trapped in the finish, traffic lanes turn dull and no amount of regular cleaning brings the shine back.
VSS Group strips worn sealer, old polish and built-up residue back to the bare surface, then lays down fresh protective coats. We provide commercial floor sealing across Sydney for offices, retail tenancies, schools, healthcare sites and warehouses, either as a one-off restoration or alongside your deep and general cleaning program.

What Is Included in Our Floor Stripping and Sealing Service?
Every job is scoped to your floor type, its condition and how the space is used. A standard strip and seal covers:
- ✓Site inspection to identify the floor type and existing sealer
- ✓Test patch to confirm the right stripper and pad
- ✓Wet floor signs, barriers and protection for skirting and edges
- ✓Machine stripping of old sealer, polish and ground-in grime
- ✓Slurry pick-up, rinse and neutralise before sealing
- ✓Multiple thin coats of sealer, each left to dry before the next
- ✓Grout cleaning and sealing on tiled floors
- ✓Drying, curing and aftercare advice so the finish lasts
How We Strip and Seal Commercial Floors
A floor finish is only as good as the preparation under it, so most of our time goes into getting the surface clean and dry before any sealer goes down.
Inspect and Test
We confirm the floor type, check the existing sealer and test a small patch before choosing products.
Strip Back
A rotary machine and stripping solution break down old sealer, polish and grime. We then vacuum up the slurry.
Rinse and Neutralise
Clean water rinses remove stripper residue. The floor dries fully, because sealer laid on a damp or dirty floor peels and clouds.
Seal and Cure
We apply thin, even coats and tell you when foot traffic, trolleys and furniture can return.
Most jobs are done after hours, on weekends or zone by zone, so the rest of your site keeps operating.

Each surface needs its own products. Lino can be damaged by harsh alkaline strippers, natural stone needs stone-safe sealers, and glazed tiles rarely need sealing but their grout does. We match the method to the floor.

Why Choose VSS Group for Floor Stripping and Sealing

Controlled Work Zones
Signage, barriers and clear handover times keep people off wet and curing floors.
Products Matched to the Floor
Strippers and sealers chosen for each surface, not one product for every floor.
Planned Maintenance Cycles
We recommend a resealing cycle based on traffic, cleaning chemicals and sealer type.

Floor Stripping and Sealing FAQs
Which floors can be stripped and sealed?
Vinyl, linoleum, concrete, terrazzo and marble are the most common, along with grout on tiled floors. Carpet and timber need different treatments. If you're not sure what's on your floor, we identify it during the site inspection.
How long before we can walk on the floor again?
Light foot traffic can usually return once the final coat is dry. Full curing takes longer, so heavy trolleys, pallet jacks and furniture should stay off for the time the sealer manufacturer specifies. We give you both times before work starts.
How often do commercial floors need stripping and sealing?
It depends on foot traffic, the cleaning chemicals used and the type of sealer. Busy entrances and corridors often need it once or twice a year, while quieter areas can go much longer. A scrub and recoat between full strips can stretch the cycle further.
Will a new seal make the floor slippery?
A correctly applied and maintained seal shouldn't. Problems usually come from too much product, residue left behind or the wrong daily cleaner. Neutral floor cleaners from our commercial consumable supplies range help keep the finish in good condition. If your site has a slip resistance requirement, let us know so we can select a sealer to suit.
Can you help with outdoor entries and paths?
Entry paths, car parks and loading docks collect the grit that gets walked inside and wears through your seal. Our high pressure cleaning service keeps those outdoor areas clean. If you also want outdoor concrete sealed, ask us and we will confirm whether it suits the surface.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send us the site address, floor type if known, the approximate area in square metres, a few photos and the times the space can be closed. We'll confirm the details at a site inspection.
