Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend on the type of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the house. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve totally exchanging the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation typically involves sanding the top layer of wood 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 problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
