Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend on the kind of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely changing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of restoration generally consists of 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
