Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the variety of the current floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the house. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure 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 replaced, accompanied 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
