Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the present flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the house. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood 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 problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Experienced floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
