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 kind of renovation work will depend on the sort of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve entirely changing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration usually involves sanding the top layer of wood 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 issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
