Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the house. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Professional 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 might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
