Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the type of the existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration generally involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
