Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will vary among the form of the present flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation commonly entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 issues or damage will usually 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.
