Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
