Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the form of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In newer homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation commonly 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 exchanged, accompanied 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. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
