Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will vary among the type of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the property. In newer homes with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation typically 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 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. 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 necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
