Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend on the form of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the home. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
