Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend on the form of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the procedure of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, 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. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
