Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to involve completely changing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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 may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
