Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will be based upon the kind of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the home. In newer houses with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 issues 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 floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
