Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will be based upon the form of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In newer houses with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely exchanging the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration generally consists of 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, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
