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 renovation work will be based upon the variety of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the property. In modern properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of renovation typically involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
