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 sort of restoration work will depend on the form of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include 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, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely changing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically 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 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. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
