Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will vary among the type of the existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In newer homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve totally replacing the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration often entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically 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 could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
