Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array 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 form of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In newer properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 frequently require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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 could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
