Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the type of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration is likely to involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be a desirable attribute of the house. In modern homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve completely changing the current floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of renovation usually 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 exchanged, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.

Specialist tools could also be necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
