Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could require an array of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will depend on the type of the current flooring. In older properties with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation is likely to entail repair and cleaning of the present floor as it will likely be an important attribute of the house. In contemporary homes with carpet or hardwood flooring, renovation is more likely to consist of entirely changing the existing flooring, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the procedure of renovation usually involves sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors 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 typically require replacing the carpet.

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