Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will be based upon the variety of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration usually consists of 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 substituted, accompanied 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 might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
