Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will be based upon the form of the current floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration usually entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly 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 flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
