Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of renovation work will depend upon the variety of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely exchanging 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 commonly involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
