Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require 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 variety of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In newer properties with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration 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 replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
