Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of renovation work will vary among the form of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the house. In modern houses with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
