Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend upon the form of the present floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation generally 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 swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
