Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend on the type of the existing flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often involve repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation typically entails 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet. Experienced 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 may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
