Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend on the type of the pre-existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly 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 might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
