Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the sort of the existing floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation generally involves 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 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 might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
