Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration generally entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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. Experienced 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. Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
