Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety 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 pre-existing floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of real 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 problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
