Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the form of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In modern properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation commonly entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
