Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the form of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration usually involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
