Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the type of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the property. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration often involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method 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.
