Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of restoration work will depend upon the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the home. In modern houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of restoration typically consists of 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 replaced, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools might also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
