Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will be based upon the type of the current floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration generally entails 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 swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems 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 floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
