Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will vary among the sort of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation often 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 substituted, 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 solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
