Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will vary among the form of the present floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important element of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require entirely exchanging the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, 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 swapped out, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
