Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could 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 type of the existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional 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 might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
