Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In newer houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation 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 exchanged, 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. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
