Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend on the kind of the pre-existing flooring. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will probably require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In newer homes with carpet or real wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation commonly 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet. Specialised 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 essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
