Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety 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 present flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation generally 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. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
