Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array 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 present floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In modern homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging 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 commonly entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialist 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 may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
