Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will vary among the type of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In modern properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed 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 may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
