Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the type of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation generally entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
