Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the form of the present flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the home. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of completely changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet. Specialised floor renovation companies can advise you of the best solution to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
