Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will be based upon the form of the current floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing attribute of the property. In contemporary houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to require entirely changing the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration usually involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
