Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the type of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of wood 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 problems or damage will generally 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 may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
