Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the kind of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration usually entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
