Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the sort of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely changing the existing flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation generally entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
