Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will vary among the sort of the existing flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In modern houses with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
