Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the kind of the pre-existing floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In newer houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation generally involves 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 exchanged, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
