Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will vary among the kind of the present floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually require repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the home. In modern properties with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to consist of completely replacing the current flooring, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation generally involves sanding the top layer of real 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 problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
