Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will vary among the form of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation commonly 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution 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.
