Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will vary among the form of the current floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the home. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, accompanied 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 floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
