Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the type of the existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail 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 completely 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 often involves sanding the top layer of wood 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. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
