Flooring Renovation

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