Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend upon the form of the current floor. In older buildings with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will generally entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In newer houses with carpet or wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally changing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the process of restoration commonly entails sanding the top layer of wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will usually require replacing the carpet.

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