Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the variety of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation 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 floors, the process of restoration typically consists of 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 problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to 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 essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
