Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can 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 vary among the type of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In newer homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation often consists of sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring 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 generally require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
