Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of renovation work will depend on the sort of the present flooring. In older houses with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will often involve repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an attractive element of the house. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, renovation is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the approach of renovation typically involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped out, 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 are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
