Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of renovation work will depend upon the sort of the pre-existing floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically consist of repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood floors, restoration is more likely to require completely exchanging the current floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of restoration typically 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 replaced, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.

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