Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the type of the current floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the home. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to require totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration often 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 swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
