Just got back been on hard floor course at amtech with the mrs. Had a really good day and  learnt a lot

Hi Craig,
I've been looking at doing a hard floor course in the new year. What did it cover flooring wise?

Also, while you're fresh from the course, what equipment are you going to invest in?

[craignozza]

Hi ash It covered every type of flooring .. i had already invested in equipment before going but didnt want to use before doing course anyway i brought a powerflight standard speed rotary which was included in the hard floor package from amtech which i thought was a great deal .  There was a couple of guys from your neck of the woods on the course today cardiff i think

[AshWhite]

Yeah, Cardiff's about 25 miles from me (but some people say Cardiff because your puny English brains wouldn't be able to comprehend the pronounciation of some of the town names  )

I've got a 15" 150rpm rotary, a 17" 200 rpm rotary, and a wand with a glide which I can use on hard floors for now. Also, I have a Multiwash, but I might invest in hard floor brushes for it in the future.

Have you picked up anything else yet equipment wise? Is it just the cleaning they were teaching, or some restoration too?

Sorry to ask so many Q's, but it's definately an area I'm looking to branching out into.

Just found most of the info on the Amtech site. Cheap course ain't it! I supps the next one will be in Jan, which might be ideal for me. You'd recommend it then?

Forgot to say i have a 15inch aswell and am gonna buy a high speed burnisher also have sx12 tile and grout cleaner ..the course was mainly about restoration with some cleaning thrown in they showed you how to strip neutrilize rinse and polish all floor types

[craignozza]

agree with that len really nice bunch

[AshWhite]

Sorry to keep on, but are yu using the SX-12 with your TM? I thought it wouldn't be enough PSI to work it very well?

[craignozza]

 you can use with tm i think as long its over goes up to 1200 psi it should be fine but  im gonna get tile and grout machine specificaly for tille and grout for using sx 12 . And as for going on a bit aint that  what you welsh do best     

[AshWhite]

Haha, right we're quits!

I've only done a couple of hard floors so far, but they've all said they've been searching for someone to do their floors for months, so I definately think there's a gap in the market - and less competition than CC'ing.

[craignozza]

Yeah theres definatley a gap in the market for it . There is only one person i can find down where i live who does it and i live in a big city

[AshWhite]

Oh well mate good luck with it, keep us posted how much work you're getting in with it!
