Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can 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 variety of the present floor. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to require repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an appealing feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to require totally replacing the current flooring, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation generally 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 substituted, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
