Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the variety of the existing floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In newer properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically 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 substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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 might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
