Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve a wide range 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 form of the present floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually entail repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In newer houses with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally replacing 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 renovation generally entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 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 flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
