Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration typically consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
