Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will be based upon the sort of the present floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the home. In modern houses with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
