Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the variety of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the home. In newer homes with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, followed 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 will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
