Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of renovation work will depend on the form of the present flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In contemporary properties with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of totally replacing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically 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 swapped out, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet. Professional 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 required for repairing or replacing flooring.
