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 type of renovation work will be based upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation commonly entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
