Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the sort of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often include repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or wood floors, restoration is more likely to require totally exchanging the current flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of renovation generally 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 replaced, 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.

Specialist tools are often essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
