Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the present floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically involve 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, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration generally entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed 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. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
