Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend on the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often involve repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally changing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration typically involves 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently 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 floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
