Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the variety of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation typically 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 swapped, accompanied 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. Specialised 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 could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
