Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could involve an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will typically include repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In modern houses with carpet or hardwood floors, renovation is more likely to consist of completely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 issues or damage will usually 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 could also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
