Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The sort of restoration work will be based upon the sort of the current flooring. In older homes with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will probably involve repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the house. In contemporary houses with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve completely exchanging 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 usually consists of 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 are often required for repairing or replacing flooring.
