Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will vary among the form of the current flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In modern homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally changing the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation commonly involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually 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 required for repairing or replacing flooring.
