Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will vary among the form of the existing floor. In older properties with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically entail repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the home. In modern homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of completely replacing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration typically involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied 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. Specialised 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.
