Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may 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 depend upon the form of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the house. In newer homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require entirely changing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration commonly 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 swapped out, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
