Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the type of the present floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely exchanging the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 problems 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 flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
