Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the type of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the home. In modern homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely changing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 generally require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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.
