Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the type of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
