Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the present floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the property. In modern properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation typically consists of 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 problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
