Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend on the type of the present flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In modern properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration often consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution 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.
