Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend on the variety of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically 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 hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, 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. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
