Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can 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 upon the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the property. In newer houses with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely changing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues 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 flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
