Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the kind of the present floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the home. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation often entails 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 problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
