Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the form of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an appealing element of the house. In modern properties with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration often consists of 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, accompanied 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. Professional floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
