Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range 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 variety of the current floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to 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 essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
