Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The kind of restoration work will depend on the type of the pre-existing flooring. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood flooring, renovation is more likely to require totally changing the existing flooring, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation often entails 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, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet.

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