Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the type of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration usually consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
