Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve 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 depend upon the kind of the current floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation generally consists of sanding the top layer of wood 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 issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
