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 kind of restoration work will be based upon the type of the existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable feature of the property. In modern homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to require entirely replacing the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation usually entails 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, 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. Experienced floor renovation companies will be able to advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old flooring up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
