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 renovation work will depend upon the kind of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important element of the house. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration commonly entails 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 out, 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. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
