Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the sort of the present flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely replacing the current 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 entails 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 swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
