Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the variety of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of restoration often 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 problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
