Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will vary among the variety of the existing flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the home. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally changing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation often involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
