Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In modern houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration often involves 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
