Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could 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 be based upon the form of the existing floor. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the house. In contemporary properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing 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 often consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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. Experienced 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 may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
