Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will vary among the type of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation 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 substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
