Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely changing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed 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. Professional 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 necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
