Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the type of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 issues or damage will frequently 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 flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
