Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will be based upon the form of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation commonly involves 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
