Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the type of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
