Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend upon the sort of the present floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation generally consists of sanding the top layer of real 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 commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard.
