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 sort of restoration work will depend upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation commonly 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 replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet. Professional floor renovation companies will be able to 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 necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
