Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the form of the present floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to require entirely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
