Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will vary among the variety of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely changing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation typically consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly 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 are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
