Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the form of the current floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration generally 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 substituted, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly 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 may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
