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 type of renovation work will depend upon the form of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In modern properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation typically consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Experienced 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 may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
