Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The type of restoration work will depend upon the variety of the pre-existing floor. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often require repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the home. In modern homes with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve completely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like employing a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the method of renovation commonly consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, accompanied 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 are often necessary for repairing or replacing flooring.
