Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will be based upon the type of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In newer houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve completely changing the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation usually consists of 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Experienced 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 may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
