Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration typically involves 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually 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 floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
