Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the form of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In modern properties with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration often involves 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
