Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the kind of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
