Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend on the type of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely changing the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration often 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 replaced, followed 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 method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
