Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the sort of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the home. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration generally consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
