Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the form of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the home. In modern homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation commonly involves 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method 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.
