Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will be based upon the type of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In modern houses with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied 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. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
