Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will vary among the type of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the house. In newer homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically entails 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 replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally 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 floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
