Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve totally changing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation 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 swapped out, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
