Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the form of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In modern homes with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation often 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 swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
