Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend upon the kind of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation often entails sanding the top layer of 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 problems 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 floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
