Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will vary among the form of the present floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the house. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration often consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
