Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the home. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration generally consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, 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 flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
