Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In newer homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require completely changing the current flooring, either like for like with 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 flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
