Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the home. In contemporary properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the current floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration usually involves 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 typically require replacing the carpet. Experienced 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 necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
