Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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. Professional 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 are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
