Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the type of the current floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration commonly consists of 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 out, accompanied 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.
