Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems 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 floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
