Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will depend on the type of the existing flooring. In older properties 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 an appealing attribute of the home. In contemporary houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of 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 approach of renovation usually consists of 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
