Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the form of the current floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the home. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration typically 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 swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
