Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will vary among the form of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation generally 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 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 frequently require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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.
